Education, Training and Public Awareness under Article 6 of the Convention
The solutions to climate change are also the paths to a safer, healthier, cleaner and more prosperous future for
all. To see this and to understand what needs to be done requires a sharp and sustained focus on education,
training and public awareness in all countries and at all levels of government, society and enterprise.
That is why governments have agreed to educate, empower and engage all stakeholders and major groups. This common
objective is anchored in 
Article
6 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and in Article 10 (e) of the Kyoto
Protocol.
To achieve their goal, governments are working with the private sector and civil society stakeholders in six
priority action areas: education, training, public access to information, public awareness, public participation
and international cooperation.
All stakeholders have agreed that the scale of the challenge posed by climate change requires these activities to
be stepped up and that they should not only be collaborative but also country-driven, interdisciplinary and respect
the culture of each participating country and group. More>>
