Today we announce another Closing the Environmental Literacy Gap webinar
in collaboration with the World Watch Institute and Island Press. This
new webinar features contributors to WWI’s latest State of the World
publication, “EarthEd – Rethinking Education
on a Changing Planet“.
EarthEd addresses applying a systems approach to environmental learning
at all levels of development, from preschool to professional. Its
guidance can inform teachers, policy makers, school administrators,
community leaders, parents and students alike. Its
vision will inspire anyone who wants to prepare students not only for
the storms ahead, but to become the next generation of sustainability
leaders.
Through the Closing the Environmental Literacy Gap series, The Security
and Sustainability Forum is aligned with other leading climate education
organizations in emphasizing the need to accelerate systems thinking in
education with the goals of training a climate-ready
workforce, raising awareness of the impacts of climate change,
understanding the interrelationships within and between natural and
social systems, and exploring appropriate responses at the national,
regional and local levels. Democracy depends on an informed
citizenry and climate literacy will become increasingly important as
climate impacts accelerate.
MEET THE PANEL:
