In this session, we explored the vital intersection of climate #education and life skills, emphasizing the significance of an interdisciplinary approach for more effective and holistic learning experiences. We delved into practical strategies and best practices, examining how the integration of #climateeducation with critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience training can enrich the educational landscape. By identifying potential long-term impacts, such as the cultivation of environmentally conscious and socially responsible individuals, we aim to highlight the transformative potential of this integrated approach in addressing and adapting to the challenges posed by climate change.
