PhilippinesThe education sector and climate change have profound and lasting impacts on communities, especially in Asia where the largest number of poor and vulnerable populations are. An effective education sector and a climate change-resilient region are crucial drivers to the achievement of an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development.
