Climate change education in India requires strategies that reach diverse populations, integrate scientific understanding with local realities, and build long-term capacity for adaptation and mitigation. Implementing such education begins with embedding climate literacy across all levels of formal and informal learning. In schools, this involves moving beyond short textbook chapters toward a multidisciplinary approach that links climate issues with geography, science, social studies, economics, and civics. Teachers need updated training to communicate climate concepts clearly and link them to students’ daily experiences—such as heatwaves, air pollution, water scarcity, and extreme rainfall. Curriculum reform must emphasize experiential learning through projects, field visits, and observation-based activities that transform climate change from an abstract topic into a lived reality students can understand. Higher education institutions play a vital role in strengthening climate education by introducing specialized courses in climate science, sustainable development, environmental engineering, and resilience planning. Universities can partner with national bodies like the University Grants Commission and the Ministry of Education to design updated syllabi that reflect global research, while maintaining relevance to India’s specific challenges. Research-based learning is essential, enabling students to work on local case studies related to land degradation, renewable energy, waste management, or community adaptation. Establishing climate innovation labs, green campuses, and sustainability clubs also helps create a culture of environmental responsibility among young adults. Teacher training forms another foundational strategy. Many teachers lack exposure to the rapidly evolving science of climate change and often rely on outdated materials.
