Abstract

Bangladesh is one of the most affected countries by climate change and extremely vulnerable to environmental degradation. Young people, as the new generation, need to understand the consequences of climate change and its impact on their lives and the lives of their fellow citizens. This chapter presents the findings from a systematic evaluation of Bangladeshi school curriculum, and how it prepares the future generation for climate change adaptation and ensures a sustainable future for them. This chapter highlights the recommendations from the findings and suggests how the national curriculum could address climate change mitigation and adaptation for sustainability by providing contents to offer grounding for the young people as global citizens to act in the local context. Although there is some content included in the school textbooks related to climate change and sustainable development issues, there is a need for inclusion of more relevant contents in the national school curriculum so that school textbooks provide enough contents on climate change, its mitigation and adaptation.
