A complete programme on climate change and adaptation for use in enriching courses during the integration of the subject into any level of the educational system has been presented in Table 9. Choices of topics/themes from this list can be used to design cross-cutting approaches for students irrespective of their field of study (Sciences, Arts, or Social Sciences). cviii

The resources used in the conception of the strategies and in the design of the courses/modules including pedagogic tools/materials, method of training, and other approaches of integrating climate change and adaptation into the tertiary level are presented in Appendix IV. These have been used to conceive three options of integrating climate change and adaptation into the tertiary level and special approaches for integration into teachers training colleges and institutions (ENS , ENSET) in both the Anglophone and Francophone systems. cviii
