"The case for action on climate change no longer needs to be laid out.
We see, almost daily, disturbing images of bushfires, floods or a mass
extinction crisis. But however widespread that sense of urgency may be, we are
struggling as a nation to respond in a substantive, coordinated way.
One thing is clear: these responses will need to be sustained and developed by
future generations. Education is crucial for the workforce needed now and for
young people who will be increasingly faced with the accelerating realities of
climate change.
The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia has done a review of research
on climate change education in schools around the world.
Here we outline three areas needing urgent attention: the emotional and
psychological effects of learning about climate change, the school curriculum
and the education of teachers."
