Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Listening Session IV: How Can Schools Support Teaching and Learning to Address Climate Change?
Note: This is a past event, additional resources may be available below.
While schools transition toward sustainable operations and build resilience, educators can support teaching and learning on sustainability, the environment, and climate change to help ensure over 50 million students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to advance a more sustainable and resilient future. This listening session will focus on how educators can prepare a new generation of students to address climate change. Panelists will share their experiences developing and implementing instruction around climate change and sustainability.
This is the fourth in a series of listening session from K12 Climate Action.
