Faculty of Education

This course examines the socio-politico-economic and health impacts and implications of rapidly escalating climatic change on diverse groups and populations. It examines barriers to climate justice, particularly for marginalised and Indigenous populations and explores pathways to achievement. More-than-human or multi-species justice will also be a topic. An important focus is the role of Indigenous communities and Indigenous knowledge in responding to and mitigating the impacts of climate change on planetary health. Other responses such as the role and forms of activism, and political responses are also included. Participants will have the opportunity to develop solutions-oriented case studies, curricula for teaching climate change to school pupils and policy analyses and recommendations.
