Climate education
Climate knowledge must be included in all education. Architects and craftsmen must learn what effect their choice of materials and energy use may do to the climate. Life-cycle analysis must be included in the curriculum for all types of courses.
Climate Teachers is a teachers’ network established by the Danish ministry of education in advance of the UN’s climate conference in Copenhagen. Its mandate is to ensure that children and young people acquire knowledge of the challenges to the climate. The Climate Teachers’ Network offers access to the latest and most relevant climate-teaching material. Conferences are also arranged which provide inspiration for climate teachers all over Denmark. To become a Climate Teacher is free of charge, and over 2000 have signed up so far. Such a good initiative should be implemented globally.
