GEEP 2023 Virtual Workshop is on December 14!
As the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly clear, the concept of net zero has swiftly emerged as a focal point in both scientific and political conversations. But what exactly does net zero mean? What are its challenges and opportunities? And how can net zero be effectively taught?
These large questions will be addressed in our workshop, What’s the Buzz About Net Zero Education? This event will be held 12:00–2:00 PM, U.S. Eastern Time, December 14, 2023|01:00 AM, Taiwan Time, December 15, 2023 (time converter here).
Climate change education plays a critical role in driving action and solutions needed to achieve net zero emissions globally. In this workshop, join educators from around the world to discuss innovative approaches to integrating net zero concepts into teaching and learning. We’ll explore how attention to net zero can enhance climate change education and help learners think about pathways for a just transition to a carbon-neutral future. Attend this 2-hour virtual workshop with educators from across the globe to learn about and share perspectives on this important component of international climate policy and action.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1.Explain the purpose of a net zero policy
2.Identify strategies for addressing net zero goals in the context of climate justice
3.Suggest actions learners can work toward as they engage in governance in their community
4.Explain the challenges and opportunities associated with net zero emission policies
5.Identify strategies educators can use to promote net zero climate education
