The Importance of Climate Education
Understanding climate change is essential for making informed decisions and building resilient communities. In the United States, four out of five parents want climate change issues to be taught in schools. However, many educators feel unprepared to teach these complex topics.
Project WET Climate Workshops
Project WET climate workshops equip educators with the tools and knowledge they need to teach students about current and future environmental challenges. Our Climate, Water, and Resilience curriculum features interactive, age-appropriate activities that simplify complex scientific ideas. By focusing on individual action and best practices for building climate-resilient communities, this curriculum empowers both educators and students to create positive change.
Real Educators, Real Impact
Thanks to donations from our supporters, Project WET has been able to offer climate workshops and online training to educators across the country. Here’s what some educators have said about our climate workshops:- “I always find it interesting how water will be the most impactful effect of climate change. It's easy to think temperatures will have the biggest effects on our way of life, but the overall increase in global temperature will inherently alter our water cycle and water systems.”
- “It's always good for me to be reminded of the basics of climate change. It’s easy to get caught up in the complications of policy and science. Getting everyone on board with the basics is key to combating misinformation and sustaining our livelihoods while addressing climate change.”
