This paper explores the challenges of cultivating ecological engagement in the context of congregations and describes pedagogical strategies for cultivating transformational approaches to care for the Earth. Working with data from clergy taking part in an online program for education and support on climate and environmental issues, we imagine what…

In this era of climate crisis, science education must educate climate-literate citizens capable of steering the required transformation. According to the Vision III of scientific literacy, students need to be equipped with the civic ability to translate scientific knowledge into a values-driven transformation. However, if the goal of the Paris…

Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of our time, requiring significant responses from all aspects of society, including education. The prevailing responses to climate change tend towards treating the crisis as a predominantly scientific and managerial issue that requires technological solutions or behaviour changes.…

Science educators face significant challenges in preparing learners with the skills and knowledge necessary for 21st-century functional scientific literacy. This stems from high expectations of students and a growing demand for them to apply their learning to complex issues with political, social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The…

This research explores the integrated dialectic between human rights education and education for sustainability in the context of global crises, including climate change and unexpected pandemics. The authors examine disparities between students' rights and citizenship education in South Korean educational policies, questioning their lack of…

Through philosophical reasoning, this article will argue for two theses, which function as two sides of the same coin. The first thesis is that Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), as a science and in addition to numerous concrete individual studies, must work self-reflexively on a common and tentatively formal theory of ESD. The first…

Children and young people today are growing up in an increasingly urban, technical, virtual and ecologically precarious world, leaving many feel disconnected from nature yet anxious about its degradation at the same time. Two distinct bodies of knowledge -- namely youth human-nature relationships and youth eco-anxiety -- are concerned with the…

Centuries of settler-colonial capitalist hegemony have deeply embedded violent paradigms of separation and hierarchy in our societal structures and internalized ideologies, ultimately manifesting in global climate justice crises. We argue, therefore, that addressing the socio-ecological catastrophes we currently face necessitates an inclusive…

This paper documents the action research process at a secondary school in Québec, Canada. Our goal was to rethink sayings, doings, and relatings towards transformative climate change education (TCCE). For schools to play a role in climate action, climate change education must move beyond information-based learning approaches, yet how to practice…

The Climate Crisis is an urgent and inescapable reality students are thrust into. Learners must be prepared adequately for their futures, not only for their sakes but also because collective and transformative change is required. Transformative sustainability education provides one pathway to this transformation and focuses on radically altering…

This paper approaches climate change as a superordinate concern that should guide a holistic transformation of formal schooling towards integration and sustainability. The call for climate change education (CCE) has been amplified by international organizations and youth protestors alike, united by a shared concern for our planet. By combining CCE…

This paper addresses the urgent reality of the environmental crisis, underscoring its irreversible nature and the critical need for transformative action. It explores the complex intersections of capitalism, consumer culture, and climate justice, highlighting the profound societal challenges these forces create. Through case studies of two…

This book explores analogue game-based learning in the context of the Anthropocene, addressing an urgent need for educational approaches beyond traditional scholastic boundaries. In the context of a complex world, the book emphasises the inadequacies of current educational methods and the potential of game-based learning to foster collective…

Can environmental education help to mitigate learners eco/climate anxiety? Anxiety surrounding climate change has drastically risen in youth in recent years. This paper aims to answer the call from Pihkala's (2020) previous review for more concrete information on educational approaches to support learners in processing eco/climate anxiety. As…

In this article, we consider the climate strikes in the context of intergenerational narratives that de/limit young people's political subjectivities and imaginaries concerning climate change. Considering the strikes alongside other youth-led responses to the crisis, we reconsider the question of young people's climate change 'literacy' and posit…
