The Importance of Education in Climate Change Adaptation

The advantage of education is it's much more flexible. It prepares people for almost any plausible scenario. One farmer in the pool told us proudly that he'd done at least a hundred courses in agricultural training on the internet, and it had taught him new ways to shore up his rice pads. That figure, the world bank estimates, has probably risen to about 70 percent because of learning lost in schools. So it's tremendously import and to get that back, if the world is changing fast, people have to be able to change fast.
