Research

Research projects in the Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education.

Initial work by the centre will see academics conduct rapid research on teachers’ knowledge and preparedness to teach climate change and sustainability education across the UK.

Other upcoming work includes equipping teachers with the tools to develop the curriculum for more sustainable futures, and exploring how secondary schools' engagement with climate change and sustainability education in England varies.
