The Report
A newsletter from The Hechinger Report
Liz Willen
Hi all!
Of the many pressing issues the world is facing, climate change is one that will eventually affect all of us — if it hasn't already. You don’t have to look far to see the results of heatwaves, wildfires, droughts and storms to understand how our world is changing. This week, The Hechinger Report looks at an approach known as “campus as a living lab ([link removed]) ,” in which colleges educate students while actively trying to reduce the carbon footprint of their campuses, our Managing Editor Caroline Preston ([link removed]) reports.
And what about teaching in classrooms with no air conditioning when temperatures exceed 90 degrees? Kids are learning less, and the effects extreme heat is having on schools and child care is starting to get the attention of policymakers and researchers. Read the story ([link removed]) via our partners at The 19th.
All of this is why we feel so strongly about covering climate change as part of reporting on education, and why we are launching a new newsletter on the topic ([link removed]) we hope you will sign up for. We welcome your thoughts and ideas on this — and all other education topics — as we begin!

** How colleges can become ‘living labs’ for combating climate change ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past decade, a growing number of professors in fields as diverse as business, English and the performing arts have integrated their teaching with efforts to minimize their campuses’ waste and emissions, at a time when human-created climate change is fueling dangerous weather and making life on Earth increasingly unstable.
