What You'll Learn
How can we best equip the next generation with an understanding of climate science and the motivation and practical skills needed to create healthy, thriving communities? K–12 climate education is essential to providing students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to address the impacts of climate change, now and in the future. Featuring success stories and lessons learned in state-level climate education policy efforts, this panel will highlight three different approaches to promote climate literacy:
Weaving climate education curriculum across standards and subject matter,
Providing professional development in climate education to teachers, and
Establishing Offices of Climate Education in state agencies and/or hiring dedicated personnel to address implementation.
Join us to learn more about how you, your colleagues, or your organization can help support robust climate education policies in your state and meaningfully put them into practice. Through this work, we can strengthen our education systems to meet the needs of our changing world and help create a better future for everyone.
