• 16 short country profiles from around the world on policy development regarding ESD and Climate Change Education.
• Recommendations on Climate Change Education in the context of Education for Sustainable Development, developed by UNESCO in order to establish a common understanding of what needs to be done to enhance education responses to climate change.
