Explainer brief
Nature-based Education
- Nature-based Education is a pedagogical approach that embeds nature at the core of learning experiences, incorporating environmental education and experiential learning, among other teaching strategies
- Nature-based Education fosters environmental stewardship and enhances student engagement while promoting human health and well-being
- Challenges in implementation include limited access to green spaces, insufficient teacher capacity, difficulties in adapting school curricula and financial constraints in educational institutions
- Governments, institutions and communities must integrate Nature-based Education into education frameworks, promote cross-sectoral collaboration and invest in greener learning spaces, teacher training and policy support to accelerate Nature-based Education implementation at scale
