Our Mission - The Campaign for Climate Literacy

Purpose:
To support climate change education policy efforts at federal, state and local levels.

Why Policy?
It is through policy changes that educational institutions are changed—for example, by adopting graduation requirements, learning standards and curriculum, providing teacher training, establishing green building standards, and allocating funding.

“The planetary emergency unfolding around us is, first and foremost a crisis of thought, values, perception, ideas and judgment. In other words, it is a crisis of mind, which makes it a crisis of those institutions which purport to improve minds.”

– David Orr, Professor of Environmental Studies, Oberlin College
