Research
Written By Laura Pasquariello

In a 2022 research report written by Andrea J Moreau (edited by Allison S Lalla and Hayat Shariff), the author addresses addresses the state of environment and climate change education in Canadian secondary school curricula. By engaging the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as an analytical framework, the structure and form of how Canada's provinces and territories portray the issue of climate change is examined. In particular, the extent to which school curricula reflect the realities of the scientific consensus on climate change, as well as the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of climate change are central focuses of the book. The purpose is to consider the role of the education system in mobilizing young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to take meaningful action on climate change issues within Canada and abroad.
