Climate Change Education Summit 2024

Parents For Climate are Australia’s leading climate advocacy organisation for parents, carers, families and all who care about a safe future for kids. “We educate and empower our supporters to make the climate safer for every child. Founded in 2019 by six regional, rural and urban mums in four states and territories, we’ve grown rapidly to fill a critical gap in the climate movement. We are a parent organisation, run by parents for parents.“ “It is critical that the education curriculum is fit for purpose for the world that our youth will be growing up and living in today and tomorrow. Climate Change will affect and is indeed already affecting every area of our lives, our society and our economy, including future vocations and careers. We need to ensure that the youth of today are prepared and equipped with the right knowledge and skills to adapt in this ever changing landscape. Which is why Climate Change education is paramount and needs to be immediately addressed.” We are proud to be working with Parents for Climate to establish a Climate Change Education Strategy for Australia. https://lnkd.in/g9iXfbPi Deakin University Deakin University - Arts and Education Research Deakin University - Science, Technology and Design Research Centre for Regenerating Futures

The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program is an international science and education program that focuses on promoting scientific literacy and building connections between people passionate about the environment. GLOBE has three primary goals: increasing environmental awareness, contributing to increased scientific understanding of the Earth and supporting improved student achievement in science and mathematics. By participating in GLOBE, students, teachers, researchers and lifelong learners can connect with the program’s global community. https://www.globe.gov/ In the Microplastics Monitoring Protocol Trial, students measure the concentration of microplastics in surface waters in the chosen hydrosphere study site. The students will apply a simple sequence of operations, using instruments and tools common in high schools (microscopes) as well as in sustainable development education centres. https://lnkd.in/gRZjrekF We are proud to have the support of GLOBE Microplastics Monitoring Protocol Project in working to establish a Climate Change Education Strategy for Australia.
