Climate change is complex and there is a need to educate our future
generations so that they are able to deal with the plethora of
information and views that they come into contact with in their lives.
This book inquires into what it means to teach and learn about climate
change.
Now in its second edition, Chang further explores what education for
climate change entails, discussing the concept of climate change
education (CCE) itself, how it is taught in schools and how public
education is being carried out. Featuring updated literature in a
quickly advancing field, the book defines CCE for the global citizen and
looks at pedagogies supporting CCE. It also identifies teachers as key
stakeholders in climate change discourse, how to improve teacher
readiness on the topic and how teacher professional development can
support successful implementation of CCE.
This book will be invaluable to climate change educators and can act as
a reference resource for teachers, education policymakers and public
education agencies.
