Climate Change Education: Ask an Expert

by Seth Spencer (Climate Generation) When tackling global issues like climate change, it takes a diverse network. Networks allow educators and professionals to connect to a wide range of people across ethnic, language, and socio-economic divides to produce community-based solutions to complex issues. They connect local experts, parents, professionals, and community members to help further learning in and out of the classroom. Educators are able to provide deeper learning and mastery of subjects while also showing students how their education connects to the world.

When Climate Generation created and launched the Teach Climate Network Hub, we found ourselves asking three key questions: what is the purpose of the Teach Climate Network, who are the experts in this work, and how do we connect educators across the nation to tackle climate change?

We explored these questions together in our inaugural Ask An Expert guest series.

Teach Climate Network educators created community interviews for organizations and people who work and live at the intersections of climate science, climate justice, and climate change education. Grounded in the best practices of climate change education from our 2020 Stay-In-stitute, guest experts discussed personal experiences in climate change education and communication, shared cross-cultural experiences, and connected to green career pathways.
