Climate change and sustainability
are two of the hottest topics currently being discussed, debated, and
deliberated globally. But what do these two key concepts mean for you, your
pupils, and your wider community?
This course is designed for
anybody working in an education setting who would like to know more about what
climate change and sustainability are, and how they relate to education. It is
the responsibility of educators to ensure that children and young people are
well informed about the future health of the planet and empowered to make good
decisions. To facilitate the best possible climate and sustainability
education, educators need to have an accurate understanding of what each are,
why they matter and the expectations of the Department for Education’s
Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy.
