World Information : Climate Change Education in New Jersey 🇺🇸

In 2020, New Jersey State in the United States became the first State in the country to require that climate change be taught to all students at all grade levels.

The topic of climate change is woven into lesson plans across most subject areas, even physical education classes!

This initiative is promising, as it will raise awareness of climate change, and will equip students with the expertise and skills to take action and seek solutions. Education has the power to foster the next generation of leaders who will go on to shape a better future and world!
