‘I wouldn’t say I’m a scientist’

• A number of teachers expressed a lack of confidence speaking in depth about climate change.

What is needed?

• Students need opportunities to talk about the future in ways that empower them to ask questions and get involved.
• This can be done via programs such as Curious Climate Schools a free resource, which we have developed for schools in Tasmania.
• In schools, we need teaching about climate change to be integrated across science and humanities subjects.
• Finally, we need innovation from policy makers and school leadership so crucial climate change education is consistently available for all students.
