Building on the joint scoping study with support from Early Opportunities, we have since supported micro research 4 countries in Bhutan, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. These studies have provided empirical evidence to support the participation of young children in climate and environmental discourse and actions. This is one of a series of four micro research reports that summarize findings, lessons learned, and recommendations requiring urgent actions.

The study examined perceptions and attitudes of local leaders, parents, and teachers on climate change, as well as their preparedness in responding to crises. Implications for the delivery of ECCD services, particularly those focusing on children’s development and learning in the context of climate change, were drawn.
