Navigating Climate Emotions in the Classroom

Wednesday, September 25th 4-5pm ET

Climate change impacts students’ emotional well-being in dynamic ways, and can lead to feelings of anxiety, grief, or anger alongside feelings of hope and a desire for action or change. This webinar is designed for K-12 educators who want to create space for students to identify, understand, and express their feelings about living through a time of rapid environmental change. Meghan Wise, from the Climate Psychology Alliance North American network, will share key insights into the "Educator's Guide to Climate Emotions," introducing strategies to support students in fostering a sense of agency, efficacy, and purpose while navigating climate feelings and engagement with climate issues. Participants in this webinar will deepen their understanding of climate emotions, expand strategies for supporting students in navigating climate emotions, and the importance of nurturing opportunities to channel emotions into constructive action individually and collectively.

Please register in advance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
