UNESCO’s proposal outlines that “curricula must embrace an ecological understanding of humanity that rebalances the way we relate to earth as a living planet and our singular home” (UNESCO, 2021, p.4), acknowledging that the survival of humanity, human rights, and the living planet are at risk. One World’s Climate Change COLP is effectively tasked to evaluate the growing global movement to engage educators from organizations like the K12 Climate Action Plan (USA) and Let’s Go ZeroCampaign (UK).
The 2022 cohort evaluated how climate change is taught in schools in various communities around the world, including the communities in which members reside, through the preparation and distribution of a short survey for teachers, educators, and students to complete.
