Creating a Climate Workforce for Implementing Climate Solutions with Wells Brown, Director of Youth Programs for Rising Sun Opportunities
Abstract: As the existential threat from climate change grows, we know that education systems must equip students and teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to prevent and mitigate the long-term effects of climate change. This presentation outlines a recent white paper that offers a review of current research to offer four strategic recommendations to help schools, policymakers, foundations, and community organizations develop and strengthen climate change education programs for K–12 students.
