Unesco Chair: Education Law in Africa legal researcher and project coordinator Motheo Brodie joins Creamer Media's Shannon de Ryhove, ahead of the launch of two new reports examining, first, how climate justice can be more effectively integrated into South Africa’s school curriculum, and second, the legal obligations of the State to climate-proof the basic education system.

Some of the recommendations made in the reports include the prioritisation of school infrastructure; support for teachers to deliver climate justice content, as well as being equipped to deal with emergencies and extreme weather events should they occur at the school; and curriculum strengthening, to ensure that climate justice education and climate change education content is designed more fluidly and in a way that is systematic so that learners better understand what climate change is and what its causes are.

Both reports will be launched at the UNESCO Chair's roundtable on 'Climate Justice and the Right to Basic Education' on May 14, at the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust, in Johannesburg.
