This comprehensive and authoritative handbook, the first of two volumes, brings together critical themes in climate change education to help scholars and educators navigate the field of climate change education studies. While climate change education has been evolving and growing with scholars from a variety of fields (e.g., environmental education, science education, anthropology), there is a dearth of a resource book that brings together the scholarship with globally recognized scholars and section editors who have contributed significantly to climate change education. Combining theoretical, conceptual, pedagogical and empirical works, as well as synthesis chapters that will draw from relevant literature, this handbook provides future directions at the nexus of justice and equity-oriented research, creative scholarship, and policy and practice for climate change education.

Brings together a wide array of experts covering multidisciplinary contexts in the field of climate change education Centers ways to use climate education to promote critical thinking and citizenship skills Offers specific strategies and ideas for curriculum design and activities in each section
