Abstract
This seminar is part of an international exchange visit that seeks to exchange understanding of climate risks and community adaptation for secondary school teachers, academics and other stakeholders. The ‘International exchange on education for sustainable development: supporting adaptation for climate change’ builds on outputs from two interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral research collaborations between Scotland and Peru on sustainable development in climate-change sensitive settings. A bilingual teaching resource for secondary teachers produced by the Royal Geographical Society and the University of St Andrews using material generated by students is the basis for curriculum exchange on El Niño and Sustainable Development.
We will hear from representatives of a Peruvian organisation that developed an award winning educational resource for local school learners to enhance climate adaptation and facilitate competencies for sustainability.
