The Next Decade of Climate Leadership at the U.S. Department of Education: An Exchange of Ideas to Inform the Agency’s Climate Adaptation Plan

Two students work intently. One listens to something through headphones.

Join the Department of Education to discuss the creation of the Biden Administration's Climate Action Plans and the opportunities they present for the future of education in the United States. Over the course of five "listening sessions," the Department of Education will illuminate the opportunities for leadership and collaboration among key stakeholders and organizations interested in elevating the role of climate-resilient schools. 

The Listening Sessions will be hosted by ED via Microsoft Teams meeting.  Topics and dates are as follows:

  • Equity in Sustainable Schools: Targeting Underserved Populations for Federal Support, Aug. 3, 2 p.m. ET
