“Teaching Climate Change and Sustainability: A Survey of Teachers in England” by the UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education presents findings from a survey of school students in England, focusing on their experiences and perceptions of climate change education.
The study reveals widespread concern among students about the future, with many expressing negative emotions such as anxiety and sadness related to climate change.
While most students recognise the importance of climate change education, only a minority find it enjoyable, and there are significant disparities in engagement based on gender and socio-economic status.
The report highlights the need for a more holistic and inclusive approach to climate education, with recommendations for integrating climate topics across all school subjects, enhancing outdoor learning, fostering student agency, and addressing emotional impacts.
