This book highlights best practices in climate change education
through the analysis of a rich collection of case studies that
showcase educational programs across the United States. Framed
against the political backdrop of a country in which climate change
denial presents a significant threat to global action for
mitigation and adaptation, each case study examines the various
strategies employed by those working in this increasingly
challenging sociopolitical environment. Via co-authored chapters
written by educational researchers and climate change education
practitioners in conversation with one another, a wide range of
education programs is represented. These range from traditional
institutions such as K-12 schools and universities to the
contemporary learning environments of museums and environmental
education centres. The role of mass media and community-level
educational initiatives is also examined. The authors cover a
multitude of topics, including the challenge of multi-stakeholder
projects, tensions between indigenous knowledge and scientific
research, education for youth activism, and professional learning.
By telling stories of success and failure from the field, this book
provides climate change researchers and educators with tools to
help them navigate increasingly rough and rising waters.
