LIBRARY FOLKS: IFLA has launched an initiative to measure how libraries are making a global impact on the climate crisis through action, communication, and education. Take a quick moment to share what your organization is (or isn't) up to.

Just yesterday I had to explain some conspiracy-leaning but otherwise harmless people that the claim
"More CO2 = happier plants" is false...

These climate deniers could just be dumped, but they are many and my missionary-hippie-anarchist heart wants their souls saved (and at least not having them voring for fascists).
We really need to put more effort in convincing the people that are not (yet) on our side.

I am awaiting your basic climate facts. :ecoanarchism_heart:

What would a climate-friendly school system look like? https://www.euractiv.com/section/climate-environment/news/what-would-a-climate-friendly-education-look-like/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #activism #ClimateChange #climatecrisis #climateeducation #Education

Often, conversations about #climatejustice throw around concepts, which are rich in possibility and history, without explaining what they could mean or providing important context. At TGP we try to make #climateeducation as accessible as possible.

In this series of explainers, we’re going #BackToBasics with some climate justice language, starting with #decolonisation. We commonly hear the term in relation to justice and community action, but what does it really look like for climate justice?

On this #EarthDay 🌿🌍, let’s talk about the importance of #climateeducation to just transition.

In order to build a system that puts people and the planet first, transition needs to be just and equitable. This means redressing past harms and decolonising knowledge systems, creating inclusive spaces that respect diverse traditions as legitimate sources of knowledge.

Currently, curricula that include climate change tend to focus on scientific approaches to the issue. While this is important, #justtransition cannot be achieved without properly addressing the human impacts and systems of social injustice that created the problem. Holistic, critical climate education is the first step towards #climatejustice, helping young people to question existing inequalities, become climate literate, and develop the tools to participate in just transition.

Lead on, #Oregon legislature. Love to see it. Essential #education for navigating our present and future. “Oregon lawmakers are aiming to make the state the second in the nation to mandate #climatechange lessons for K-12 #publicschool students.” https://lnkd.in/e5sCgjBT #climateeducation

Talking today at 12pm ET about #climateeducation, including the need to boost the focus on education for #cleanenergy (and resilience) employability. Way too much focus on #climateliteracy. Knowing what a greenhouse gas is is half a dozen steps away from action for impact. Join…

Great to see more courses on #climatechange.
Not so great is seeing the number of folks teaching climate courses without having background or training in it. I wonder to what extent do students end up being guinea pigs, or readings get assigned without familiarity/context or sufficient understanding of critiques of existing debates.🧐 This does more damage in the long run IMO.
Not everyone is trained or equipped to teach about #climatejustice or #ClimateEducation

Increased amount of Carbon Dioxide emission is the main cause of #GlobalWarming and that leads to various effects. But, those effects may also amplify/diminish each other and the global warming process. This is called Climate Feedback. The photo here is a simple example of how it works.
