Description

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced. One of the most effective ways to combat climate change is education. In New Jersey, standards to support teaching and learning about climate change were introduced for children of all ages beginning in 2022. In this edited volume, experts from across the state offer strategies, suggestions, advice, and vignettes to support educators as they begin to implement climate change instruction in their classrooms. With a foreword by our state’s First Lady Tammy S. Murphy, it also includes a scientific perspective on the effects of climate change in New Jersey, the history of climate change education in the US, and perspectives from colleagues in other states who are also beginning to adopt instructional practices to address this important topic.
