Teaching Climate Change Across Disciplines in 2025

Teaching about climate change is increasingly essential in any classroom. Despite growing climate anxiety, students want to learn more and feel empowered to take action. Integrating climate education doesn't require an entire unit or class — brief, purposeful integrations can be powerful. In this session with global affairs and climate education experts and teachers, participants will discover how to integrate local and global solutions-based approaches to studying climate across subjects. It's never too late to educate and prepare the next generation as informed citizens in our connected world.
