Education

Climate Change Curriculum

Including a nine-lesson unit on climate change for junior grades using the Community Carbon Challenge 50% by 2030, Zero by 2050 (CCC) prepared by CAM and RTOERO

Young people are calling for the inclusion of widespread education on climate, climate justice, and on activism to be included in education curricula around the world. They need not only knowledge, but also ways to achieve the changes required i.e. how they can influence change. Recent reports show that Climate Change education focusing on solutions is essential to bring hope and opportunity to our young students.

You can view and/or download a copy of the package with live links to the CCC and to other on line resources. Click on the link below.

Canada, Climate Change and Education:
Opportunities for Public and Formal Education

The purpose of this national survey was to gain an understanding of current levels of knowledge and perceptions of climate change among the general public, parents, youth and educators as well as to assess how Canadians think the education system should respond to the climate crisis.

If you want to dig in the full report is 138 pages. There is an Executive summary, snap shot of findings, beginning on page 7.


GIRLS’ EDUCATION – the World Bank

Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms and practices, poor infrastructure, violence and fragility. Girls’ education is a strategic development priority for the World Bank.

 Girls’ education is a strategic development priority. Better educated women tend to be more informed about nutrition and healthcare, have fewer children, marry at a later age, and their children are usually healthier, should they choose to become mothers. They are more likely to participate in the formal labor market and earn higher incomes.

Education and gender equality – UNESCO

 Education and gender equality. Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO and inextricably linked to its efforts to promote the right to education and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Let's take action together in 2022

Climate Action Muskoka is an inclusive and non-partisan group working with individuals, businesses and government to tackle climate change. Locally, we focus on education and community engagement and collaboration with municipalities to build resilience as Muskoka transitions to a post-carbon future. Everyone is welcome to get involved.
