Climate Education is a key Climate Solution. 
Youth should have a voice shaping climate education policy. 
That's why we are launching a nationwide call for input for the next iteration of the Climate Education Resolution to be re-introduced into the 118th Congress by Rep. Barbara Lee.

H.Res.29: (Bill Text)

Send a letter to your Congressional Representative

​Students need climate education to find climate solutions. 
K-12 climate change education is needed to prepare students to mitigate and adapt to the effects of a warming planet. Right now, most US schools do not have a rigorous climate education program to prepare students for the jobs of the future. This resolution, written through our national effort, included the voices of over 200 students from 20 states. These students are calling for:

1. Solutions-based, age-appropriate, K-12 interdisciplinary curriculum 
2. Trade and vocational programs in high schools that can build skills needed in a rapidly decarbonizing country. 
3. Civic education to ensure students know their rights and roles within a democracy 
4. Supporting apprenticeships and alternative pathways to jobs

States cannot do this alone,- they need federal support to train teachers, procure quality materials, incentivize employers of green jobs to create pathways to work with young people and school districts. 
​
What can students, teachers and parents do to help advance federal support for climate education? 
 Pass a climate literacy resolution in your school district requesting a comprehensive climate education curriculum.
