On World Environment Day, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) appointed Adenike Oladosu, a prominent young climate activist from Nigeria, as its new ‘ECW Climate Champion.’ Known as ‘@TheEcoFeminist’ on social media, Oladosu has been a leading voice for climate action in Africa, representing Nigerian youth at the Conference of the Parties (COP) Climate Talks since 2019.

With her new appointment, Oladosu called on world leaders to connect climate action with education action as we race to protect our people and our planet from the devastating consequences of the climate crisis, including its negative impacts on education.

"The interconnected challenges of conflict, forced displacement, environmental degradation and climate change are putting an entire generation at risk. To address the growing education/climate crisis, we must act #RightHereRightNow to ensure access to quality education for millions of crisis-impacted girls and boys worldwide," said Oladosu.

To understand this changing landscape, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), UNHCR, and the Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies (EiE Hub) have commissioned a report to provide an up-to-date global overview and analysis of investments and action on displaced population’s inclusion in digital learning. The report also provides updates on the Refugee Connected Education Challenge (RCEC), relevant stakeholders’ current investments and initiatives, as well as trends and lessons learned from efforts to support the inclusion of refugees in digital learning programmes. Finally, opportunities for strategic investments are identified and a call for action is made, to encourage stakeholders to develop further opportunities on data, leadership and coordination, and capacity development.

This is why the Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies (EiE Hub) – with leading contributions from Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and UNESCO – submitted an input to the UNFCCC’s call for input to the Expert Dialogue on Children and Climate Change, which reiterates these key facts about EiE and climate change. The input highlights the important contribution that education – particularly in crisis contexts – can make to address the consequences of climate change, pointing to a wide range of policy solutions and best practices.

"È necessario partire dall'educazione - viene sottolineato - quale fondamento imprescindibile su cui costruire il futuro di bambini e bambine e quello delle comunità. É urgente e fondamentale investire risorse adeguate per assicurare l'accesso a una educazione inclusiva e di qualità fin dalla prima infanzia e per rafforzare la resilienza dei sistemi educativi per assicurarne la continuità. Al contempo si deve investire nello sviluppo professionale, nel benessere e nell'assunzione di nuovi insegnanti e dello staff educativo. Per raggiungere tali obiettivi è necessario colmare il gap di finanziamenti per l'educazione a livello globale, assicurando il pieno finanziamento dei Fondi Multilaterali quali la Global Partnership for Education e Education Cannot Wait".
