Green Climate Fund provides funding for Tonga's climate resilience education project
What happened
The Green Climate Fund provided funding to Save the Children for the Building the Climate Resilience of Children and Communities through the Education Sector (BRACE) Project in Tonga. This initiative aims to strengthen the resilience of schools and communities against climate change impacts. The CEO of Tonga's education ministry, Mr Isikeli Oko, is representing the sector at the UNFCCC COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye.

Why it matters
The funding supports efforts to build climate-resilient education systems in a highly climate-vulnerable nation. Mr Oko also called for increased and predictable climate finance for vulnerable countries during the negotiations. This highlights the growing need to integrate education into global climate adaptation finance.
