Climate Change Education

Be it resolved that BCCPAC recommends that the Ministry of Education and Child Care:

1. revise the K-12 curriculum to implement comprehensive intersectional, interdisciplinary, and action-oriented climate education across subjects;
2. offer a Climate Education 12 course as an elective graduation credit course to aid in preparing students for green jobs with a lens on the circular economy;
3. provide resources and professional development to in-service and teachers-in-training to deliver curriculum content relevant to the climate crisis to enable educators, administrators, and parents to support students and address climate anxiety;
4. measure complementary student outcomes relating to engagement, understanding and agency/action for living well and sustainably within planetary means;
5. compare for implementation and certification purposes EcoSchools in other jurisdictions (ecoschools.ca).
