Abstract: This commentary explores the dynamic landscape of climate change education (CCE) in Asia, spotlighting the crucial role of integrating CCE into teacher training programmes. It introduces the Asian Teacher Educators for Climate Change Education (ATECCE) Network, whose impactful initiatives have catalysed change in teacher education and community engagement. A Japanese case study exemplifies the practical application of a Pan-Asian framework in embedding CCE into teacher education. This commentary aims to highlight the transformative power of teacher education in nurturing a generation equipped to address the climate crisis, underscoring the pivotal role educators play in shaping a sustainable future.
