Policy Formulation

This category offers resources and guidance for crafting and refining climate education policies. Access examples of existing policies, policy templates, and tools for drafting policy proposals or recommendations.

These resources were compiled by the Coalition for Climate Education Policy to be featured in a State and Local Climate Education Policy Toolkit.

In short, the key findings led to the five recommendations:

1. Increase the quality and quantity of climate change content across all education policies, including addressing all institutional domains and holistic learning dimensions and in all subjects. 

2. Update and increase the number of statewide environmental literacy plans.

3. Include a stronger focus on climate justice, climate action, and Indigenous knowledge in all education policies.

4. Include a focus on both climate change mitigation and adaptation in all education policies.

5. Provide policy support, such as funding, professional development, and staffing to help advance enactment of climate change education policy.
