Climate change is going to shape young people’s lives, and yet
many students feel their schools are not equipping them with the
knowledge and skills to face this future. Teachers aren’t 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’re going to Ghana, the US, China, the UK
and Europe to find answers.
