The climate crisis is systemic. It is a product of the way our systems and structures operate. Climate change will affect all levels of society, from finance to food, from law to landscapes, from mining to media, and everything in between.
If every school teaches History, why do we not teach Future?
The Climate Academy offers schools & universities a programme for students to understand the key points and dynamics of physical and social systems in play. We offer them the tools to proactively have impact in the course of their climate future. Next level climate thinking and acting.
Can we really call our students educated if they do not understand the depth and range of the crisis?
We need to move on from the broken, fragmented environmental education that is standard around the world. Young people should be given the full picture through a systems-informed approach. Why do we teach them complex and advanced material in the classroom but then rarely advance their understanding about the environment beyond simple clichés about recycling, reducing plastics or waste.
The Climate Academy offers an exciting systems level vantage point. Empowered by this perspective, the students are then challenged and motivated to develop their talents and skills in their communities. Mindful of leverage points, they can be real agents of change.
THE 3 PILLARS →
The Climate Academy offers a profound 15-chapter educational course book. It is packed with science, clear metaphors and engaging philosophy. One chapter at a time, the book opens up the crisis to a systems level for both teachers and students.
After establishing a secure understanding, the Climate Academy mobilises students into the civic space at a local, national or global level. We offer schools and students the blueprints and network to implement projects with leverage and depth. Students are also empowered to publish systems informed media.
Together with OpenBadgesTM the Climate Academy offers a unique certification system that allows students to test, grow, spread and show their understanding. Impact learning & impact publications and events are certified by schools and universities. The highest level badges are accredited by the Climate Academy itself.
The best learning and experiences are collaborative. As the network of Academies grows worldwide, there are so many opportunities to link-up, inspire and strengthen each other.
