Yet knowledge about climate change education and communication (CCEC) practices in in different countries still remains incomplete even today. Timed with the COP26 held currently in Glasgow, a new evidence base of 20 national education policies on the issue is being launched today on the GEM Report's PEER website covering all regions in the world (see map) and income levels. This work is the result of a collaboration between the GEM Report and the Monitoring and Evaluation of Climate Change Education (MECCE) project. A second set of 50 profiles will be published in time for the COP27, along with a policy paper analysing global trends. The aim of the country profiles on climate change education and communication is to provide a comparative perspective of the progress countries are making towards the realization of Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Article 12 of the Paris Agreement and SDG target 4.7. Complementing the work carried over time by UNESCO and in particular the analysis presented in its 'Learn for Our Planet' report, the profiles cover climate change contexts  (relevant government agencies, laws, policies, and plans, terminology and budget); climate change education (policy, curriculum, teacher education and assessment) in primary and secondary education; higher education; teacher education; TVET and adult education; climate change communication (public awareness; public access to education; public participation); and monitoring.
