Extreme climate impacts are increasing, and youth eco-anxiety is rising, while teachers who address climate change and its inequitable impacts often work in isolation. To address this need, this project will host annual, expenses-paid Climate Equity Institutes at the Schoodic Institute campus for high school teachers. Participants will explore equitable pedagogy, hear talks on the global and psychological impacts of climate change, and engage in guided field trips and independent inquiry.
