A workshop on the introduction of climate education in schools concluded in Tashkent, where recommendations for grades 7–11 in biology, geography, physics, chemistry, and mathematics were finalized. The initiative is being implemented with the support of UNDP, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education, the Education Above All Foundation, the Zamin International Public Foundation, and the Republican Education Center.
Experts have developed a list of climate topics, key competencies for each subject and grade, as well as a roadmap for updating programs, preparing teaching materials, and training teachers. The plan includes training more than 50,000 teachers and 2,520 mentors who will train over 1.3 million schoolchildren.
The program aims to develop students' skills in sustainable development and knowledge about climate change. It supports Uzbekistan's commitments under the Paris Agreement and the Strategy for Transition to a "green" economy for 2019–2030, opening up new opportunities for environmental education in the country.
