Why we must teach climate change in schools.

The growing demand from educators about how to teach climate change and environmental awareness reflects the desire of students to bring climate change action into all aspects of their lives. Our work gets young people active and engaged in creating a flourishing future for us all.

Climate Action

Projects like the Climate Action Project and the Plastics Project put the climate front and center.

Youth Empowerment

Students lean into their own interests and ambitions, to shape their work in ways that are meaningful to them.

Education Innovation

Helping teachers and leaders solve problems in new ways opens an entirely new world of educational possibility.

Students

Do students care about climate change?

No one who has heard the voices of young people in the media, online, or on the streets could be left in any doubt about the importance of climate awareness to the next generation. Whether joining youth movements, creating green solutions for local communities, or connecting to share their ideas and dreams with others across the world, students hold the key to a healthier environment. Discover some examples of their projects here and here.

Educators

What resources are available for teachers?

As any teacher will tell you, finding time to research and create new materials for their classroom is one of their biggest challenges — but that’s where we come in! Our teachers have voiced their desire for easy-to-implement resources to tackle the rising demand for climate literacy, and our free and diverse materials are available for download here.

Education Institutions

Should education institutions do more to inspire climate action?

Schools and universities are desirous of providing more than pure facts and figures to their students. Their ultimate goal is to have children leave formal schooling as active and accountable individuals, armed with innovative and critical thinking skills to face the challenges of the real world. Therefore TAG advocates hands-on environmental education as key subject matter for all standards programs and is working with national institutions to lobby for its inclusion.
