An Advocacy Toolkit on Climate Change Education for Educators and Their Unions

In 2019, EI member organisations globally recognized that educators and education unions have an important role to play in addressing the climate emergency and resolved to step up action for climate justice (see these two resolutions “Defending Education, Sustaining the World” and “Education and Research Play a Crucial Role for the Environment and for the Future of Humanity”). This strong mandate from education unions led to the launch of the Teach for the Planet campaign.

Through this toolkit, we hope that you will learn useful tips on how to push for the inclusion of climate education in your respective country’s climate action plans. We hope that this will inspire you to take your advocacy to the national and global stage.
