Climate Justice: An Introduction for Teachers
Presented by Jennifer Feller, Senior Climate Educator and Statewide K12 Director of Mass Audubon
Are you curious what is really meant by "climate justice"? Are you interested in helping students explore the intersection of public health and climate change? Join us as we explore developmentally appropriate, solutions-oriented tools for understanding and addressing issues of climate change through a lens of socio-economic impact. This workshop is designed for those teaching 5th-8th graders, but open to anyone interested in climate justice.
Mass Audubon: “By engaging directly with nature, our programs invite participants to think like scientists, engage in meaningful discussion about what they discover, and reflect on their connection to the environment.”
