Ministers urged to ensure climate change is taught across curriculum Experts say teachers want more professional development support to teach climate change and sustainability

Our children will have to live with a changing climate, so need to be equipped to understand the challenges they will face. Attached is an article & linked letter (still open for signatures) to the Education Minister urging her to embed climate change in the curriculum.
