#MECCE @ COP27

We are thrilled to be releasing our first slate of nine global indicators for CCE/ACE. We have compiled data from data providers and partners, such as the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Clarivate, Global Data Barometer, and Meta; large scale assessments, such as the PISA; and datasets created by the MECCE Project, such as national curriculum and policy documents. The indicators are available for exploration on our Interactive Data Platform. The MECCE Project uses a phased approach to data and indicator development, and more and updated indicators will be released regularly, as we work to improve data availability and quality through our partnership activities.

 There are one to two indicators for each of the ACE elements, with ‘education’ separated into primary/secondary and higher education. Our indicators for primary/secondary education cover integration of climate change in national curriculum policy and students’ self-declared knowledge on climate change. For higher education, we offer global data on the extent of climate change focus in research publications. The training indicator covers integration of climate change in technical/vocational training policy. For the public awareness ACE element, explore data related to perceived impact of climate change on future generations and perception of climate change as a serious threat. Our public access to information indicators cover availability of information on climate change impacts and public perceptions of frequency of exposure to climate change information. Finally, the public participation indicator covers adult willingness to participate in climate action. Many thanks to the experts who reviewed and provided feedback on the indicators, data, and research methods.
