Climate Literacy
LAUSD has passed a climate literacy initiative. It is still in its infancy stage, but we will provide regular messaging on climate change and other topics related to environmental issues. It's a subject of utmost importance as it's universal and it affects EVERYONE.
What is Climate Literacy?
Education has a critical role to play in addressing climate change. An understanding of climate change and sustainability will be essential for future citizens, workers, and leaders, making the education sector key to building a more sustainable and resilient society. In fact, education has been identified as an underutilized social tipping point needed for decarbonization—the process of phasing out reliance on carbon across all parts of the economy.
