Climate education is gaining prominence as a priority topic ahead of the United Nations' COP31 conference in Türkiye, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
A climate scientist cited in the report said that quality climate education could be one of the most powerful tools available for climate adaptation, and urged countries to move beyond simply raising awareness of climate change.
The report does not specify the scientist's name, institutional affiliation, or further details on what a stronger climate education approach would look like in practice, nor does it outline a timeline for when COP31 will take place in Türkiye.
Climate education has increasingly been discussed in international policy circles as a complement to technical and financial adaptation measures, though specific commitments from countries on the issue were not detailed in the available report.
It remains to be seen how prominently climate education will feature on the formal COP31 agenda once further details of the conference are released.
