Climate change affects every person and society, every community
and industry. Education at all levels, in all disciplines, and both
inside and outside official institutions must now address climate
change and its many effects on social and environmental systems.
This book provides a framework for putting climate change at the
forefront of educational agendas and pedagogical tools for teaching
climate science across local and global settings. Cassie Xu and
Radhika Iyengar present evidence-based teaching practices and
strategies that are grounded in a broad conception of education and
emphasize a systems approach. They share examples of effective
approaches in diverse learning environments—not just in
classrooms and other formal settings but also informal contexts
with communities and families. This book makes the case that
students and other learners need to understand climate science and
the physical and social impacts of climate change not only to be
good citizens but also to be well prepared for different career
paths. Xu and Iyengar highlight systemic barriers and inequalities,
reflecting on how to bring marginalized voices and perspectives
into educational spaces. Providing a foundation for
interdisciplinary environmental education, this book underscores
that how we teach future generations about climate change will
shape our future.
