2040 Film Education Resources
Help your students discover how they can shape a sustainable future with these inspiring education resources based on the documentary 2040. Designed for Years 5-10, these free lessons demonstrate that climate solutions already exist and help teachers turn climate anxiety into action.
Created with GoodThing Productions and Regen Studios, these resources immerse students in sustainability challenges and solutions while developing critical thinking and collaboration skills.
Encourage students to develop positive, action-driven solutions.
Cool.org has partnered with 2040 to guide teachers, parents, carers and students through this innovative Australian documentary from director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film).
About the film

In 2040, Damon speaks to change-makers in the areas of economics, technology, civil society, agriculture, education and sustainability.
