Being a resident of Virginia, this one hits home. Virginia has not historically shown support for climate education and this legislation is crucial! #climateeducation #climateaction #climatechange #climateliteracy #climatecurriculum #climatepolicy #environmentaleducation #educationequity #educationispower #educationlegislation #legislation #climateleadership #virginia

A new report underscores the importance of climate change education and the role of policymakers in supporting this education. Another reason for people to support Illinois House Bill 4895. Please call your Illinois Legislators and ask them to support this important legislation! https://lnkd.in/gsBtPTun The white paper outlines the findings within 5 key theme 1. Inconsistent climate education terminology creates barriers to collaboration. 2. Where teachers have control, they can overcome challenges – but they need more help to go further. 3. Educators need more support from local and national policymakers. 4. Innovative approaches are needed to motivate students and young people. 5. Parents and the wider community play a key supporting role.

This agreement is a game-changer for environmental education groups. It paves the way for creating a consolidated voice, making these groups a central point of contact for both educators and policymakers. This envisioned collaboration promises a more cohesive and impactful approach to environmental education. By uniting our efforts, we can streamline communication, ensuring that educators' insights and needs directly inform policy decisions. This synergy is vital for enhancing the effectiveness of environmental initiatives and ensuring that education remains at the forefront of our collective climate response #UnitedForClimate

This afternoon I am teaching a session on environmental and social justice in the transport sector! This is part of a Climate Justice module at the University of the West of England. I will be talking about: • Direct environmental impacts of transport • Indirect impacts – land use, energy consumption, health, access, ... • Barriers to access / social model of disability • Examples of positive change and progressive governance • Systemic complexities • Possible perverse effects of “positive” change Really looking forward to this!
