Climate Justice is a movement addressing the intersectional unequal impacts of climate change on marginalized and vulnerable populations.

THE CLIMATE PEDAGOGY PROJECT
- What do our young people need to know and understand about climate change?
- How are teachers currently teaching about climate change in Tompkins County schools?
- How are sustainability and climate change being introduced in subjects other than science?
- What kinds of support do K-12 teachers want or need to adequately address climate change?
These questions are the core of an effort to support the teaching of climate change in our County schools.
