Climate Change Education Requires a Holistic Teaching Approach
Our lifestyles and behaviors are contributing to global climate change, which will potentially affect future growth and development, human and/or environmental health, as well as threaten communities. Little research exists on climate change education, making it difficult for schools and educators to develop a successful curriculum. Some challenges associated with climate change education include misconceptions spread by the media, the difficulty of teaching and learning the associated science, and varying levels of knowledge among students.
