fb88 Climate Education is a place-based, age-appropriate, interdisciplinary approach to "understanding of how the climate system works, how human actions influence climate, and how climate influences people and other parts of the Earth system." ()
There are a wide variety of applications based on age and location. This could include place-based learning, community resilience, environmental stewardship, scientific research, food systems, outdoor, nature play, interdisciplinary, traditional ecological knowledge, and green career exploration. Younger climate education can primarily focus on appreciation and stewardship. Older age climate education can pivot to focus on climate and social systems and how to take community-oriented action.
