So much so that after his visit to the UK in January, Michel Forst, the UN representative for environmental defenders, stated that he found their treatment “extremely worrying”.

Key Points: 
  • So much so that after his visit to the UK in January, Michel Forst, the UN representative for environmental defenders, stated that he found their treatment “extremely worrying”.
  • This ambitious international environmental agreement, which I have spent more than ten years studying and writing a book about, was designed to empower and protect environmental defenders.
  • But environmental defenders insist that these desperate and disruptive actions are nothing compared to the risks that political inaction pose to human health and that of our planet.
  • Here are three reasons not to be mad at the protestors.

1. Democracies depend on citizen engagement

  • Healthy democracies welcome and depend on an active and engaged citizens to thrive.
  • These examples are all worrying signals for the state of our democracy, and our planet.
  • The repression and criminalisation of environmental protesters and those undertaking acts of civil disobedience spells trouble for our democracies as well as our planet.

2. Environmental problems need diverse solutions

  • Environmental harm can operate in ways that are not always well understood by those in power.
  • Planetary problems therefore need a diverse range of solutions and everyone affected needs to be represented and have their interests heard.
  • The Aarhus Convention also promotes active public participation in relation to environmental decision-making.

3. Suppressing protest won’t solve the planetary crisis

  • Lethal air, filthy rivers, collapsing food chains, the climate crisis – these problems will all continue unabated, and soon become much more inconvenient than having to get off the bus to walk the last mile to work.
  • Forst, in his report, puts it like this: “states must address the root causes of mobilisation” not the mobilisation itself.

This year, organizers of Earth Day are calling for widespread climate education as a critical step in the fight against climate change.

Key Points: 
  • This year, organizers of Earth Day are calling for widespread climate education as a critical step in the fight against climate change.
  • A new report, released in time for global attention for Earth Day on April 22, highlights the impact of climate education on promoting behaviour change in the next generation.

How knowledge becomes ingrained

  • Teachers have become increasingly concerned about best practices for supporting their charges as young people express anxiety about environmental futures.
  • Similarly, Finnish researchers use biking as an analogy to describe the process by which knowledge becomes ingrained in people’s memory.
  • The bike model advocates ways of learning that consider knowledge, identity, emotions and world views.
  • More than half of the survey respondents were from Ontario (25 per cent) and Québec (29 per cent).

Challenges with climate education

  • However, inclusion of climate education in formal school curricula has come with its own set of challenges.
  • Educators in Ontario reported a lack of classroom resources as a barrier when integrating climate change education within the curriculum.
  • The United Nations has declared climate education “a critical agent in addressing the issue of climate change” as climate education increases across different settings and for various age groups.

Educators finding ways

  • More and more educators are taking steps to find ways to teach climate education in schools.
  • As an instructor for several undergraduate-level courses, Olsen focuses on equipping budding educators with the skills and knowledge to incorporate climate education in their classrooms.

All aspects of curricula

  • Embedding climate education into all aspects of curricula can take a variety of approaches in and outside of the classroom.
  • Environmental education has been packaged in different forms, including broadening school curricula with inclusion in science, but also subjects including English, math and art.
