The Climate Education Policy Toolkit is your guide to navigating the dynamic landscape of state and local climate education policy. Whether you’re a climate professional, legislator, educator, student, young adult, parent, or just a concerned individual, the resources within this Toolkit are designed to help you instigate change in a way that is tailored to suit your specific political landscape. 

This Toolkit is designed with inclusive language to ensure clarity and accessibility for all. Crowdsourced from members and organizations of the Coalition for Climate Education Policy, these resources have undergone rigorous evaluation to maintain high standards of quality and relevance. The Coalition sends regular communications and newsletters to our members. Interested in becoming a member? Click here to join the Coalition for Climate Education Policy member list.

Our vision for this toolkit is to ensure it’s accessible to everyone, regardless of background or location. We recognize the diversity of climate conversations across the U.S. and understand that it’s more complex than a simple divide. 

We extend our gratitude to the many individuals and organizations who have thoughtfully contributed to this Toolkit.
