Comparing Climate Change Education in Canada and China: Using Climate Change Education to inspire hope through action

Based on various research papers, present methods of Climate Change Education have been noted to instill feelings of eco-anxiety ultimately leading to avoidance of the topic. For students to be inspired to take meaningful action for a sustainable future, hopeful education is needed. Current methods of Climate Change Education will be observed in Canada and China, and lesson plans will be developed to make it more meaningful, relevant, and hopeful. The ultimate goal is to connect students with nature and inspire attitudinal changes through collaboration with local/global communities.
