The Earth has shattered heat records for 13 months straight. As the climate emergency intensifies, young people need tools that help them understand who shaped the warming world they inherited and how to meet the crises in front of them.
The good news: Educators can equip students to recognize the breadth of the climate crisis, grasp how it strikes unequally around the world, examine its social and economic causes, and come to see themselves as activists for a just society and a stable climate.
But where — or when — do you start? We offer an interactive climate crisis timeline and classroom activities to help teachers and students explore how the climate crisis unfolded and imagine paths to a more just future.
The climate crisis is not going away. That means that teaching for climate justice is work we all need to do.
We offer classroom-tested environmental justice lessons, a climate crisis timeline, other teaching resources, workshops, and a sample school board climate justice resolution. Please use these lessons and recommended materials, and find more resources in our Teach Climate Justice Campaign.
