Schools and the Environment: Preparing for the Future

How are schools both vulnerable to climate change—and uniquely positioned to lead solutions? In this episode, we unpack findings from a working paper that synthesizes interdisciplinary research on the bi-directional relationship between K–12 education and climate change. From reducing schools' environmental footprint to integrating climate science and green job training, this episode outlines a research-backed agenda for educators, policymakers, and researchers preparing schools for a more resilient, sustainable future.
