βJoin an inspiring community of educators and innovators, whose mission is to reinvent how we deliver education globally.
βWhat is education for climate change?
According to climate experts,Β we have until the year 2030Β to stop the continuous global warming of our planet. With this looming thread, there is a desperate need to equip society with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to tackle this grand challenge.
βYet, integrating climate action into the existing curriculum can be challenging, and finding ways to align climate-related topics with existing subjects while abiding by educational standards can be a hurdle. While there is an increased need for talent in Sustainability and Climate Tech, many young professionals are unsure of how to upskill themselves to contribute in this space.
βSo how do we design education and learning systems that can contribute to tackling climate change?
βWe explore that and more in the next Reinventing Education Series event.
