Teacher Education as Climate Action: Developing a Community-based, Collaborative Approach
All levels of education have a responsibility to support the widespread cultural shifts needed to ensure equitable, just, and sustainable communities, so why isn’t education being positioned as a key site for climate action?

This free session is part of the , hosted by the Center for Sustainable Futures at Teachers College, Columbia University.
