ABSTRACT
Currently, drought is regarded as a significant natural disaster. Moreover, drought planning, drought management, and prevention of its negative impacts are difficult. Drought and climate change have negative environmental impacts, leading to social and economic crises. Compensating for these negative impacts needs long-term planning and investment. The important strategy to minimize drought damage is identification of the drought phenomenon and planning for coexistence with it. In this regard, education, exchange of knowledge, knowledge transfer, knowledge management, and learning play a valuable role in drought management. The main objective of this chapter is to summarize the strategies of educational programs relating to drought. The development of network activities, linking schools and climate change, organizing events, using tourism and art as tools for knowledge transfer, and establishing museums are good examples for popularization of and education on drought, whether for children or adults.
