About the project:

Save the Children Australia (SCA) manages the Building the Climate Resilience of Children and Communities through the Education Sector (BRACE) programme, funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Global Partnership for Education (GPE). The program operates in Cambodia, South Sudan, Tonga, and globally. Component 3 focuses on global coordination and learning, connecting education and climate stakeholders to enhance climate action within the sector. The core product is the Climate Change and Education website (climateandeducation.org), a primary global hub for climate-resilient education. Launched in March 2026, the website offers practical tools, evidence, and resources for building climate-resilient education systems. It includes news, events, think pieces, and a resource library covering topics such as National Adaptation Plans, Nationally Determined Contributions, climate investment planning, resilient school infrastructure, risk management, and climate literacy. The website aims to enable knowledge exchange and highlight country experiences to support urgent climate action in education, which currently receives limited climate finance. The website is hosted as a microsite on weADAPT, a global climate knowledge hub with over 10,000 users from more than 2,000 organizations across 141 countries. This microsite is co-managed with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), which operates weADAPT. Resources can be contributed by external parties and undergo a structured intake and SCA quality review process aligned with an agreed taxonomy.
