Teach climate: climate literacy toolkit

In April, 2019, National Public Radio announced results of an NPR/Ipsos poll regarding attitudes toward  teaching climate science. Important findings included:

“More than 80% of parents in the U.S. support the teaching of climate change… Whether they have children or not, two-thirds of Republicans and 9 in 10 Democrats agree that the subject needs to be taught in school… A separate poll of teachers found that they are even more supportive, in theory — 86% agree that climate change should be taught.”

 Yet respondents emphasized their frustration in finding climate curriculum to teach to their students or share with their children. Earth Charter Indiana and HEART decided to do their part to fill this gap, and provide the content you'll find on this Toolkit.​

Most teachers want to teach climate change but sometimes don’t know where to start.  Earth Charter Indiana and HEART have  curated a list of high-quality, user-friendly lessons, units, activities, videos, and more to help.
