Climate Education is a key Climate Solution. 
Youth should have a voice shaping climate education policy. 
That's why Schools for Climate Action partnered with over 200 K-12 students from 20 states to co-author the Climate Education Resolution which was re-introduced into the 118th Congress by Rep. Barbara Lee and co-led by Rep Maxwell Frost and Rep Jahana Hayes.

​Students from every state need climate change education! 
Right now, most US schools do not have a rigorous climate education program to prepare students for the jobs of the future. This resolution included the voices of over 200 students from 20 states and was supported wholeheartedly by Rep Barbara Lee. 
“As the demographic with the most to lose to climate change, it would be a massive disservice not to teach students today about the threat of the climate crisis—and to empower them with the education and tools they need to fight it. Solution-focused climate education must be a top priority in schools across the United States. I am proud to introduce this resolution with Rep. Hayes from Connecticut, the first Gen-Z member of Congress Rep. Frost, and the support of a broad coalition of parents, teachers, school boards, advocates, and most importantly, students.”
- Representative Barbara Lee
