About this opportunity
Addressing climate change is urgent. Education is a powerful tool for doing so, from preparing our young people to providing tools for communities to mitigate and adapt to a climate-altered world. It seems we have the knowledge and skills available to us to act, but many people don't know how. As educators, we need to research how to help. This project will examine what people need to know and be able to do in order to act. It could be situated in any context from early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary or community education.
