This toolkit is intended to build teachers‟ capacity for effective integration of climate change into their respective teaching subjects. While the toolkit is not subject-specific, teachers can adapt it to address specific learning outcomes in their subject areas. It is appropriate for use from primary school level up to the secondary level (both junior and senior secondary). The specific purposes of this toolkit are to:
-Help teachers to deliver accurate information (knowledge and facts) about causes and impacts of climate change;
- Help teachers to appropriately use the local context when teaching relevant concepts and issues of climate change;
-Build teachers competences to encourage development of action-competence skills relating to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Thus the toolkit has rich content dealing with basic science of climate change, its mechanisms, adaptation and mitigation. It also has a variety of learners‟ activities that can be adapted to suit specific contexts of schools and classrooms. Another important feature of this toolkit is that it has short assessment tasks that could help the teachers to assess students‟ learning.
