Sustainability Education (2023, p. 7), ‘a broad, pluralistic approach to education’ is required to support learners in responding to the climate and ecological crises we face. Pihkala’s (2020) research has shown that taking action, and in particular while working together with other people, can help avoid anxiety and the feelings of being overwhelmed. The National Education Nature Park in England is a programme designed to support educators in their design and implementation of an embedded climate change education, aligned with the national curriculum. It enables learners to transform knowledge about climate change and biodiversity loss into action, empowering them to respond positively to these issues.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time and is directly linked to the equally devastating biodiversity crisis (State of Nature, 2023). Recognising that solutions to these issues are interdependent, the National uruguay consumer email list Education Nature Park has a vision for every young person in education to have opportunities to develop a meaningful connection to nature, to understand the concepts of biodiversity loss and climate change, and to feel able to do something about them.
‘With the area of England’s primary and secondary schools equating to roughly more than double the size of Birmingham, change across the education estate can make a real difference, and show young people that, by working collectively, climate and biodiversity challenges can be addressed.’
