Let's create continuous conversations about climate change education: Spreading the Sediment of Science!

About Us

We envision a world where everyone feels empowered to take action in solving climate change. To create this future, climate action begins in the classroom.

Our Story

In June 2022, SubjectToClimate was introduced to the New York chapter of the National Wildlife Federation through their existing partnership for the New Jersey Climate Education Hub. By February 2023, NWF's Climate and Resilience Education Taskforce (CRETF) proposed a budget to the Governor and State, including a resource hub developed by SubjectToClimate. In October 2023, CRETF organized an event where the success of the New Jersey Climate Education Hub was presented, generating support. SubjectToClimate also began building ties with NYC Public Schools, leading to the official partnership between SubjectToClimate and NWF to establish the New York Climate Education Hub.

OUR SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF), America's largest and most trusted conservation organization, works across the country to confront the interrelated crises of rapid biodiversity loss, accelerating climate change, and pervasive environmental injustice. NWF is committed to providing youth, educators and communities with the knowledge and skills they need to understand the climate crisis and take action to protect our common future.
