Climate Literacy Lessons
Education for Sustainable Development means including key sustainability issues in teaching and learning; for example, climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption.
Climate literacy is not only well-embedded in our curricula, but also an integral part of each. Using Sustainable Development Goals as the focal point, big questions and lessons are intertwined around this need-of-the-hour topic. GEMS Education prides itself on having a United Nations-Accredited Climate Change teacher in every classroom, thus making it the world’s first certified climate change teaching-learning educational group.
In a concerted, collaborative effort to share climate literacy resources and best practices, a collection of curated and reviewed lesson plans developed by teachers and other partnering schools are available as open-source material.
