Hi,



The world and its people are facing full-scale climate emergencies from wildfires, hurricanes and drought to collapsing biodiversity, crop failures, mass migration and starvation. Students stand to inherit a world that is rife with uncertainty, but also full of potential to be transformed into a more just and sustainable home.



In order to prepare our children for this rapidly changing world and for the jobs of the future, youth everywhere need to be educated about the complex and interdependent issues of climate and environmental science and build the civic skills to make lasting changes in their communities and globally: this education starts in schools.



EARTHDAY‍.ORG invites you to join another installment of our Earth Day Live series: Environmental Literacy and Civics: Education to Change the World <[link removed]> on Tuesday, January 26th at noon EST.



Join us for the live event.
