4 Summary

In Session 1 you’ve learned that learners need a broad range of skills to address the climate emergency, including skills that help societies to adapt and transform social and economic injustice. You’ve thought about how to address climate anxiety through the steps of naming, talking and acting. You’ve also critically considered the role that individual action can play in addressing the climate emergency and identified that while individual action has a role, it’s not enough on its own.

You should now be able to:

  • critically reflect on the skills required to address the climate emergency
  • identify ways of supporting your own and your learners’ wellbeing
  • critically evaluate the role of individual actions in addressing the climate emergency.

In the next session you will explore the concepts of climate justice, transformative learning, and critical pedagogy. You’ll consider ways of supporting your students in addressing the climate crisis through democratic participation, political engagement, and activism.
