This collection of 7 articles brings together fascinating work that geographers and others are doing pedagogically with stories and storytelling methods in diverse global contexts, building solidarity in response to climate change with children, youth and adults.

Youth-led review shows students want better climate education The Shadow curriculum and assessment review panel's interim report shows that concerns around climate education is a prevalent issue for young people.

Really interesting read from @teachthefuture.bsky.social on KS1-KS5 students' views on Curriculum & Assessment in England. Embedding climate ed across subjects, better support for teachers, & more time in nature are recommendations we can all get behind! www.teachthefuture.uk/blog/youth-l...
