Education capacity building as a foundation for climate resilient development in SIDS

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Climate resilient development (CRD) offers small island developing states (SIDS) a chance to integrate climate adaptation and mitigation into development decisions that benefit civil society. Yet, present climate actions lack education capacity building across formal curriculum development, vocational training programs, and data infrastructure needed to sustain CRD in the long-term. Here, we evaluate different climate education capacity building initiatives in Grenada through stakeholder interviews (n = 39) and co-generative workshops with participants (n = 47) across education, government, and civil society sectors to debate how existing knowledge, new skill development, and enhanced educational resources can build a sustainable CRD transition.
