Climate Literacy Teaching Resources

  • Climate Literacy Teaching Resources

    Climate Change education doesn't need to be a fact-heavy scare-fest! We've designed a new package of educational resources to foster climate literacy among your students in a fun, hopeful and engaging way. Taught through the lens of the ground-breaking book by international best-seller Seth Godin, 'The Carbon Almanac', these lesson plans are a must-have in every Australian school.

Resources Spanning English, Geography, Literacy and Science

Climate literacy encompasses a breadth of knowledge, from scientific concepts like the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle to critical thinking skills in analysing media coverage and combating climate denialism. These resources span Earth and Space Science, Geography, and English, providing support for educators to engage students in understanding the complexities of our changing climate across various disciplines. These lessons draw on crucial perspectives from The Carbon Almanac to help educators and students join the global movement to preserve our planet!
