"We know young people are “angry, frustrated and scared” about climate change.
And they want to do more to stop it.
However, the school system is not set up to help them address their concerns
and learn the information they seek.
There are no explicit mentions of climate change in the Australian primary
school curriculum and it is mainly taught through STEM (science, technology,
engineering, mathematics) subjects in high school.
More broadly, the main ways we talk about climate in the community and media
are focused on science and economics. They tend to involve abstract ideas such
as “the planet is warming” or “rainfall is more unpredictable”. While these are
important components, they overlook the social, cultural and psychological ways
people around the world are affected by climate change.
So, how can we better support schools and teachers to approach climate change
in a way that will suit young people’s interests and concerns?"
