Beschreibung
Die CAPE Report 2024 is a guide that supports educators, school leaders, and teacher educators in embedding high-quality climate change education (CCE) across all school levels. Developed by the Climate Adapted Pathways for Education (CAPE) project, the report offers evidence-informed strategies to help schools implement whole-school approaches to sustainability. It emphasizes the importance of teacher agency, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary learning, while addressing the emotional dimensions of climate education such as eco-anxiety.
The report promotes collaboration with community partners and external experts to localise and enrich climate education efforts. School leadership plays a key role, with guidance provided on creating a shared vision, allocating resources, and supporting teacher professional development.
Designed to be practical and actionable, the CAPE Report includes case studies, frameworks, and reflective prompts that encourage schools to evaluate and evolve their climate education strategies. It’s particularly valuable for educators seeking to foster sustainability citizenship by empowering students to understand, navigate, and shape responses to environmental challenges.
