Teaching Climate Change: From Earth Day to Every Day
This webinar features speakers from the American Museum of Natural History, National Geographic Society, SubjectToClimate, and CFR Education from the Council on Foreign Relations.
There's no better way to celebrate Earth Day than to join fellow educators dedicated to preparing students to navigate the impacts of climate change at home and across the globe. As climate change continues to disrupt our world—from agriculture and migration to health and the economy—teachers can empower students to turn climate anxiety into action in the classroom on Earth Day, and beyond.
In this webinar, participants will
- gain insights about global trends from a climate and energy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations;
- learn why climate change education is so crucial in 2025 through a panel of education leaders from the American Museum of Natural History, CFR Education, National Geographic Society, and SubjectToClimate;
- explore free resources and tools to integrate climate change into your class through information sessions in breakout groups on each organization; and
- ask questions!
This webinar is tailored to K-12 educators of all subjects who want to gain the confidence, knowledge, and tools to integrate climate change education into their teaching.
