What do we tell the kids?
Climate change is going to shape young people\u2019s lives, and yet many students feel their schools are not equipping them with the knowledge and skills to face this future. Teachers aren\u2019t always confident broaching climate change in the classroom. And governments have been slow to get comprehensive and compulsory climate change education onto national curriculums.
But how do you teach young children about something so big and scary? And how should adults deal with the hopelessness that some young people feel when faced with a crisis they feel powerless to change? This week, we\u2019re going to Ghana, the US, China, the UK and Europe to find answers.
