Description: UN game about disaster prevention (floods, wildfires) through sustainable planning.
This online game teaches adults and children how to build safer villages and cities against disasters. Users learn through playing how the location and the construction materials of houses make a difference when disasters strike and how early warning systems, evacuation plans and education save lives.
The lessons learned from major disasters have emphasized the need of capacity development to reducing disaster risk. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR) encourages improvements in how nations manage disaster information before, during, and after disasters occur, and highlights the importance of risk communication. Priority 1 of the Sendai Framework specifically emphasizes the need for policies and practices for disaster risk management to be founded on the understanding of disaster risk. To achieve this, the SFDRR proposes:
incorporating disaster risk knowledge in formal and non-formal education, as well as in civic education at all lelves, as well as in professional education and training.
building the knowledge of government officials at all levels, civil society, communities and volunteers, as well as the private sector, through training and education on disaster risk reduction.

Teaching the Future
Teaching the Future
Climate change concerns all of us, and everyone can take action for the climate” (European Commission, 2020)
Our planet is experiencing significant and accelerated change caused by greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. We are gathering significant scientific data looking to understand and then seek solutions to the problem.
Understanding the causes, effects and implications of climate change needs to be central to school education.
The climate data dashboards and teacher training modules developed can help educators use climate data to address the science and concerns
Explore the teaching tools and resources reviewed for climate education
“Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps people understand and address the impact of global warming, increases “climate literacy” among young people, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate change related trends.” UNESCO (2019)
