Dear teachers, students, and parents,

Our Children's Trust is thrilled to announce the release of Making the Case for Science-based Climate Action, a first-of-its-kind free curriculum centered around Juliana v U.S. ([link removed]) , the landmark youth-led, scientist-backed, constitutional climate lawsuit currently working its way through the federal courts.

Built by and for educators, this five-day lesson plan provides high school teachers with content and activities to engage students in lessons on civics, climate science, the law, current events, and youth-led movements.

The curriculum is available for free download here ([link removed]) .

With lecture notes, slides, and custom-made worksheets, this curriculum makes it easy for any teacher to bring the Juliana lawsuit into their classroom – no matter if its a civics, science, or history class. This curriculum allows students to take part in an empowering research-based, role play simulation, learning how to think critically about the intersection of science, politics, and the law.

We hope that every high school student in the U.S. will have an opportunity to learn about the Juliana constitutional climate lawsuit and the power of youth to affect change. Plus, with a Juliana decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals expected any day now, we are eager to see this curriculum integrated into classrooms across the country as quickly as possible, so:
* If you are a teacher, download our free five-lesson curriculum for use in your classroom.
* If you are a student, ask your teacher to add this curriculum to your class.
* If you are a parent, ask your children’s teachers and local administrators in your district to teach these lessons.

Teachers: Want to introduce your class to Juliana but don’t have five free days in your teaching schedule? No problem. Making the Case includes plenty of stand-alone activities and lessons that can fit any schedule. Review and download the curriculum ([link removed]) today to explore your options for incorporating the curriculum’s activities into your current lesson plans.
