Increasing numbers of children and adults are displaced or migrating due to the impacts of climate change, affecting their right to education. Gaps in data at the intersection of climate-related risks and human mobility hinder governments from ensuring undisrupted and inclusive learning in the context of climate change.
Recommendations:
Integrate education-in-emergencies data into education management information systems for crisis-sensitive education planning.
Explore utilization of innovative data sources to project potential mobility of learners, especially in disaster-prone areas.
Apply computational simulations to forecast education needs in the context of climate change and human mobility.
Develop capacity and a sense of ownership among education policymakers, planners and administrators to enhance use of data for climate resilience.
