CLIMATE change education in Pacific schools is no longer optional; it’s a matter of survival. Fiji’s Climate Change Act 2021 reinforces the importance of embedding climate change across national systems, including education. Climate change education in Solomon Islands is increasingly being linked to broader realities, including human mobility. Meanwhile, in low-lying atoll countries like Kiribati, climate change education is inseparable from national survival. Climate change education is still too often treated as a topic in one subject, a one-week awareness campaign, or a unit taught once a year.
