Climate Change Education Summit

Ed Hawkins of the University of Reading developed one of the most important climate change visualisations of recent years: the Climate Stripes. The spiral version has also been widely used.

In September, a free Climate Change Conference is available, organised by the University of Reading to engage young people ahead of COP26.

Free access to the plenary sessions is available:

The Summit will include keynote plenary sessions open to all – from teachers and their students to the general public – and closed roundtable discussions, with the aim of identifying and outlining how a step change in climate and sustainability education can be made so that young people have the skills and knowledge needed for the twenty-first century.

We envisage the scope to include both policy-related matters and in-school activities, not necessarily requiring curriculum change.

My Climate Stripes shirt should be ready by then as well.
