Growing A Green Generation: Teacher Innovation for People and the Planet

Climate change is no longer a future threat — for millions of children, it shapes daily life through floods, heat, displacement, and uncertainty. In these contexts, climate and nature-based education cannot be abstract. Children are living its consequences, and schools must equip them with the skills, resilience, and agency to adapt and thrive.

Teachers are gathering evidence from their classrooms and communities to understand how climate affects learning and wellbeing. They use these insights to adapt and innovate, shaping approaches that respond to local challenges, from floods and droughts to food insecurity and displacement. Climate learning becomes integrated into everyday teaching, connecting science, maths, wellbeing, problem-solving, and community action. While the world tackles the climate crisis from many angles, education has long been underleveraged — and teachers are proving that learning can equip children and communities to build a more sustainable, resilient future.

In Part Three of our Virtual Forum series, join our teachers and teams to understand how they are growing a green generation.
