RATIONALE
Although the country has a very low share in
total global emissions, it has been occupying an
important place in the top countries that emit the
most greenhouse gases due to changes in
land use and deforestation. A commitment
from Colombia, in terms of adaptation to climate
change, is to strengthen the public education
strategy on climate change. The policy proposes
to define education strategies to achieve a
cultural transformation with respect to climate
change and ecosystem services. Teacher
training is a meaningful step in order to achieve
appropriate changes in education, aiming the
sustainable development for our country.
