Effective climate change education strategies promote safe spaces, are grounded in science, and address misconceptions
Climate change is a complex and controversial issue, and its resolution requires critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers. Unfortunately, misconceptions about climate science and the causes of climate change abound, impeding efforts to effectively address the issue. While many educators are hesitant to teach about climate change because it is such a politicized and polarizing issue, many others have integrated climate change education (CCE) into their curricula.
