Stark gap between climate change taught in India and lived experience: report

There is a stark gap between students’ lived experiences of climate catastrophes and the climate change taught in schools, especially in vulnerable regions of India, according to a recent report.

The report titled ‘Towards Quality Climate Change Education For All,’ by academicians Ruchira Das and Ranjana Das, claimed that the policies on environment and climate science within the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023 are not successfully implemented.
