A Conversation on Climate Action in the US

This week we wanted to take a look at the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on combating climate change. The order identifies specific actions and goals that include net-zero emissions, ecosystem conservation, and environmental justice. One area that wasn’t mentioned in the order is an approach to climate action through the education system.

The order identifies specific actions and goals that include net-zero emissions, ecosystem conservation, and environmental justice. One area that wasn’t mentioned in the order is an approach to climate action through the education system.

We looked at the ways in which the Biden Administration’s $1.5 Trillion Budget Request can utilize both the education budget and the allocation for tackling climate change in this week’s article: read here.

At Green Guardians, our motto is “environmental literacy, community action”, which directly correlates with the community-focused approach to environmental education. Our goal is to provide educators and students with the tools and connections needed to create an education system with environmental literacy as the foundation across all subjects and grade levels.

The Future of Education with the Biden Administration’s Climate Plan

President Biden promised that his administration would take an aggressive role in combating climate change. Although still early in his presidency, there is evidence to suggest that it will be at the forefront of this administration’s agenda. He has committed to rejoining the Paris Agreement and is reviewing the standards protecting communities, water sources, and air quality. The Biden Administration has set a goal to have a net-zero emission economy by 2050. But the question is: How do we get there?

The Executive Order to combat climate change includes the following bold claims:

• The United States government will exercise its leadership to make climate considerations an essential element of U.S. foreign policy and national security

• Both significant short-term global emission reductions and net-zero global emissions by mid-century – or before – are required to avoid setting the world on a dangerous, potentially catastrophic, climate trajectory. 

• Commit to conserving at least 30 percent of our lands and oceans by 2030 and launches a process for stakeholder engagement from agricultural and forest landowners, fishermen, Tribes, States, Territories, local officials, and others to identify strategies that will result in broad participation.

• Formalize a commitment to make environmental justice a part of the mission of every agency by directing federal agencies to develop programs, policies, and activities to address the disproportionate health, environmental, economic, and climate impacts on disadvantaged communities.

Build a stronger, more resilient nation.

While this order certainly advances the US’ climate agenda it does not incorporate or account for an education plan that focuses on climate change and how to prepare students with 21st-century skills that will enable them to make informed decisions and be capable of participating in a rapidly evolving world. If we want to create a more resilient nation, there is a need to prepare and educate our citizens from a young age about the causes and effects of climate change and their role in combating it. Creating a cross-sector agenda that includes the Department of Education is at the center of this action plan, and many organizations are reaching out to the Biden Administration to encourage them to take action.

President Biden has budgeted $102.8 billion for education in his $1.5 Trillion Budget Request, which can be used towards environmental literacy tools for students. With this budget, we would see an increase of 40.8% in education spending. (NPR.org) This increased budget, as well as the $14 billion increase allocated for fighting climate change, can serve students by providing funding for teachers for their basic classroom needs, while also meeting the need for resources to implement environmental literacy and justice campaigns across all grade levels.

Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE), wrote a letter to the Biden Administration encouraging them to establish a joint federal and civil society effort based on their strategic framework (ACE Strategic Framework). ACE has created its national planning framework with the support of a broad coalition of partners with the goal of preparing the United States to enter the Paris Agreement. The need for a community-focused approach to climate action is the main foundation of the ACE framework.

If the Biden Administration were to utilize the community-focused approach of the ACE framework and incorporate the Department of Education into their climate change plan, we can begin to work on tackling climate change from the ground up. Without support from the Department of Education, teachers are left to their own devices, which often include limited support and resources to create a curriculum that supports climate action. As noted by author Christina Kwauk,

 “86% of teachers think climate change should be taught in classrooms, yet only 42% actually teach it.”

As the Biden Administration has made the call to acknowledge and support environmental justice throughout the nation, it is also important to recognize the connection between environmental justice and environmental literacy. In order to create a generation prepared to fight climate change, they need to have a fundamental understanding of not only the global repercussions of climate change but also the effects that climate change has on the communities they reside in. We recently spoke to youth activist Isha Clarke who mirrored this sentiment, mentioning that using the environment as a multi-disciplinary lens to highlight and provide context around injustices facing students’ communities will reach students and inspire action.

At Green Guardians, our motto is “environmental literacy, community action”, which directly correlates with the community-focused approach to environmental education. Our goal is to provide educators and their students with the tools and connections needed to create an education system with environmental literacy as the foundation across all subjects and grade levels.

Advancing Environmental Literacy through Partnerships

This week, we want to highlight the importance of creating partnerships between the formal and nonformal education sectors to advance environmental literacy across the nation. We have had discussions with knowledge leaders Judy Braus, Andra Yeghoian, and Jason Morris about this topic, so we wanted to revisit the benefits of these partnerships, and how they can provide a holistic environmental literacy solution and positive outcomes for all K-12 students across the US.

Judy Braus, Executive Director of the NAAEE, core work has revolved around strengthening networks and building support for the advancement of environmental education and conservation. Judy notes that the necessary components to build a strong environmental education ecosystem are funding, policies, professional development, high-quality interdisciplinary curriculum, evaluation and metrics, equitable access to the outdoors, a focus on equity and inclusion in the field, and society-wide buy-in. Judy sees strong networks as the glue holding the environmental education ecosystem together and a bridge between state and local actors.  

Judy believes that the interplay between the non-formal and formal education sectors is crucial for the advancement of environmental literacy. Judy explains that,

“Schools are not isolated units in society. We have to look cross-sectoral and understand that we need to think about education throughout society, including early childhood, K-12, higher education, and all the places the people learn outside of our formal system.”

Judy Braus

Jason Morris, the Senior Program Officer for the Environmental Education Program at Pisces Foundation, where he works to identify and fund “backbone organizations” expressed a similar sentiment, “We need to aggregate this work so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Jason believes there is a need to increase networking between states, among states, and that greater leadership is needed from the federal level.

A common thread of belief between the environmental education knowledge leaders we have interviewed is that the field lacks “connective tissue”. Utilizing resources from formal and nonformal education as well as the public and private sector creates more opportunities to network and acquire funding for environmental literacy initiatives across the country. Without a public and private partnership between philanthropy and federal and state funding streams, it becomes a lot harder to implement these initiatives due to a lack of resources and competition for the few resources that do exist. This is at the heart of Pisces Foundation’s mission, as Jason stated,

“We are trying to create those connections between the key nodes of strategic work going on because a school partnering with a non-profit, partnering with a CBP is stronger than any three of those things by themselves.”

Jason Morris

Andra Yeghoian, the Environmental Literacy and Sustainability Coordinator at San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE), is passionate about the idea of collaboration as she has driven change from the classroom to the site, county, and state levels through environmental literacy. When examining the current state of environmental literacy and sustainability in the formal K-12 sector, Andra acknowledges that there are areas of improvement when it comes to resource utilization and institutional change, and suggests we start by having educators and administrators build relationships with green leaders and stakeholders.

To better support environmental literacy initiatives for students and teachers, administrators need capacity-building tools for environmental literacy and sustainability. When the formal and nonformal education sectors collaborate, they can complement one another; both provide expertise and resources that the other needs. Working symbiotically on providing resources for educators and creating learning experiences for students that connect the classroom to field-based programs, they can effectively take advantage of each other’s resources.

As Andra mentioned in our interview, the education system is fundamental to our cultural narrative, so to make a paradigm shift happen in the field of environmental education, we must make sure the education system is on board. By creating partnerships between the formal and nonformal education sectors, there are more game changers keeping their eye on the environmental literacy landscape and providing insight for growth across the board.

“That is the reason to invest in formal education. The true leverage point for change in a society is through education.”

Andra Yeghoian

Funding and resources remain a critical barrier to the advancement of environmental literacy. But, by drawing resources from the corporate and philanthropic worlds, advocating at all levels of government, and increasing local networks’ capacity to provide new learning experiences, there is a future where environmental literacy is at the forefront of every child’s education.

This week, we wanted to take a look back at our previous interviews we have had with environmental education knowledge leaders and revisit the need for equitable access to environmental literacy tools.

We spoke with Dr. Gerald Lieberman, Director of SEER, about the environmental literacy movement in California. We interviewed Craig Strang, Associate Director of the UC Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science, about environmental justice and designing at the margins. Lastly, we spoke with Isha Clarke, youth activist with Youth vs. Apocalypse, about activism and environmental justice.

The main topic we wanted to revisit is environmental literacy and equitable access for all students. In order for our community to have an impact on the environment around us, we need to start educating students on culturally and environmentally relevant topics, as well as on actionable tasks that can be taken beyond the classroom. One of the main challenges that educators face when implementing environmental literacy is equitable access to resources, programs, and relevant lessons. This issue is especially prevalent in low-income and underrepresented communities.

A Look at Environmental Literacy and Equitable Access

Here at Green Guardians, we wanted to take a look back at our previous interviews we have had with environmental education knowledge leaders and revisit the need for equitable access to environmental literacy tools. Our first interview was with Dr. Gerald Lieberman, Director of the State Education and Environmental Roundtable (SEER) where he has been instrumental in the development of California’s initiatives around environment-based education (EBE). In his role with SEER, Dr. Lieberman developed a strategy for implementing EBE called the EIC Model ™ or Environment as an Integrating Context for learning which focuses on developing localized instructional programs at the school or district level. 

As Dr. Lieberman noted in his book Education and the Environment (2014)

“The major educational and environmental challenges that our society is currently facing are inextricably connected to the ways humans interact with the world around them… changing the way teachers teach and students learn is the only way to develop an educated citizenry capable of resolving these challenges.” 

Dr. Gerald Lieberman

In other words, in order for our community to have an impact on the environment around us, we need to start educating students on culturally and environmentally relevant topics, as well as on actionable tasks that can be taken beyond the classroom. One of the main challenges that educators face when implementing environmental literacy is equitable access to resources, programs, and relevant lessons. This issue is especially prevalent in low-income and underrepresented communities.  

To address relevancy in environmental literacy implementation, Craig Strang, the Associate Director of the UC Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science, advocates for designing at the margins. To design at the margins, we need to identify marginalized communities and work with their representatives to design locally relevant environmental literacy programs and projects. “The lesson is that when you design at the margins you can often address the needs of marginal populations while also serving the mainstream,” expressed Craig. 

We spoke with Craig Strang about the issue of environmental justice and equity in the space, and he believes that we should place environmental justice at the heart of the emerging discipline of environmental literacy. He suggests we start by recognizing that environmental degradation typically also incubates a problem of social justice. Whether we consider the location of polluting industries, or the marketing of unhealthy foods, or the ravages of fires and floods, the fallout disproportionately impacts historically marginalized groups, particularly people of color and people from low-income families. 

In relation to environmental literacy and environmental justice, we are seeing youth leaders emerge where education has been insufficient and environmental challenges have greatly impacted communities. We spoke with Isha Clarke, a youth activist and one of the founding members of Youth vs. Apocalypse, and she emphasized that environmental literacy is environmental justice due to the fact that they are inseparable for many underserved communities who disproportionately suffer the impact of many environmental issues. Isha explained how environmental literacy can advance “collective liberation from systems of oppression” by helping people see the interdependence between natural and human systems. It also addresses the fact that while educators may understand the importance of learning about the environment, the environment is core to the identity of many youths today. Using the environment as a multi-disciplinary lens to highlight and provide context around injustices facing students’ communities will reach students and inspire action. 

In California and other leading states, environmental literacy is being developed as a multi-disciplinary, project-based learning domain, ideally linked to programs offered by a wide range of community-based partners. It is important for schools across the nation to roll out environmental literacy initiatives in an equitable manner to make the greatest impact on our society’s relationship with the environmental challenges prevalent today. Craig notes: “Access includes making sure that underserved schools have access to teaching and curricular resources and subsidies that cover the cost of school projects, enrolling in community programs, and materials and transport.” 

As we look forward to the future of environmental education, environmental literacy must be at the forefront of school curriculums. Through interdisciplinary lessons, educators and students can connect with environmental topics in non-traditional and exciting ways. Working with community-based partners is a great way for counties and school districts to get a jump-start on introducing environmental literacy into their curriculums as CBPs provide a wealth of knowledge and resources for educators.  

Our upcoming CAELI Community-Based Partner Hub, in association with CAELI and Ten Strands, aims to provide equitable access for County Offices of Education, school districts, and educators to environmental education resources and programs provided by community-based partners.
