Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-2030.

The Climate Change Education Strategy of Ethiopia 2017-2030 is a comprehensive Framework for promoting Climate Change Learning during this period. In terms of scope, the strategy encompasses three cycles of Strategic Guidance and Priority Actions: 1. First Cycle: 2017-2020; 2. Second Cycle: 2021-2025; and the 3. Third Cycle: 2026-2030. The first cycle National Strategic Guidance and Action Plan focuses on strengthening the integration of climate change education into the formal education system with special attention to primary and secondary levels of education. Whereas the detail strategies and priority actions are formulated for the first cycle period (i.e. 2017-2020), only the milestones and indicative intervention areas are included for the second and third cycles that cover the period 2021-2030.
The Strategy's Vision is to see environmentally conscious citizens created at all levels of education with proper knowledge, skills and attitude that enhance our country’s climate resilient and green economic development through climate change education. Four strategic objectives were identified that are geared towards the successful achievement of the mission and overreaching goal of this strategic plan i.e. the first cycle of Ethiopia’s comprehensive CCE strategy. These are to: • SO 1: facilitate the setting up of an enabling policy and institutional frameworks at national and subnational levels with a view to fostering sustainable CC learning; • SO 2: enhance the level of integration of CCE in the curricular of the formal education system of Ethiopia; • SO 3: support co/extra-curricular activities and furthering the integration of CCE among formal, non-formal and informal education systems, and • SO 4: mobilize resources and strengthen partnership for financing the implementation of the broader CC Education Strategy.
