Talking Climate Change with Yash Negi
Episode 32: Why Studying about Climate Change is Important especially in schools.
In this episode of the podcast , I have talked about “why it is important for students to learn and study about climate change”.
Topics Covered:
- Importance of climate change
- Teaching about Climate Change to school students and engage them with practical work to create awareness.
Additional Info:
Incorporating the topic into school curriculum only stands to bring students closer to their communities. Civic engagement, one of the most important lessons schools impart on their students, can be taught through student engagement with local institutions.
- How are their communities working to be more sustainable?
- What policies are governments putting in place, and how might students push for more?
It is not enough to simply teach students about the science behind climate change; students also need to learn how institutions and individuals deal with problems of this scale, and how they fit into that larger picture. As long as schools have a responsibility to teach global citizenship and community stewardship, they have reason to teach about climate change.
With curriculum hectic as they are, and such a breadth of material to cover, where do schools start? There are many resources available to schools, among them, UN CC:Learn’s “Integrating Climate Change in Education at Primary and Secondary Level” guide. It covers topics ranging from the challenges that climate change poses to schools themselves, among them school closings and low enrollment as a result of natural disasters, to how to integrate climate change into existing school curriculum, and even provides teaching materials for primary and secondary school educators.
Other resources to consider include projects and individuals working in school communities. It’s important that schools tie climate change education to their communities, teaching their students both civic engagement and providing important examples for how solutions are being developed to global issues in real-time.
Teaching about climate change is by no means easy, but it is a challenge worth tackling for all those involved — communities, schools, teachers, and students alike. As an interdisciplinary issue, climate change can open young minds to deeper avenues of thought and reinforce learning in social science. More than that, real climate change education confers onto students an appreciation of the role they play in their environment — both their physical, changing environment, and their civic environments.
If schools want to create deep-thinking, engaged, and self-aware students, they should undoubtedly turn to climate change education.
