Dear climate twitter hive mind,
I'm developing a short course (~4h) on understanding & tackling the climate emergency - for now, for students + uni staff.
What topics do you think are most important to cover? Pls send me your top 5/10/100 topics / perspectives / facts + pls RT 🙏

[Create The Future @createfuture_]

Climate change isn't an all-or-nothing problem.

Every tonne of carbon we don't emit saves lives.
Every tree we plant cleans the air we breathe.
Every green policy we support and pass gets us closer to a more sustainable society.

Every single action we take together matters.

Motivated by yesterday’s #IPCCReport ?!

Come join @teachers_action and be part of an inspiring group of teachers creating positive change in schools across the world 🌎

Teachers across the world 🌎 are making a difference right NOW in their classrooms and school communities - providing young people an education for the climate and ecological emergency 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 come join us #ClimateActionNow

[Culture Declares Emergency @CultureDeclares]

We declare both climate AND ecological emergency 🌍

A new report from @IPBES & @IPCC_CH reinforces how climate & biodiversity are inextricably linked, and how actions towards both must support eachother.

[Create The Future @createfuture_]

Hey #ecoteachers! Do you link your lessons to the local areas your students know and love?
For example, when you talk about biodiversity, do you reference a local park or wildlife reserve?

Please RT! 💚 #ClimateAction #teachersforclimateaction #greenschools

[MaryLeonard @SomersetCJN]

Been told I can have a huge tract of land owned by my school to use as a biodiversity area- ideas anyone??? #stateofnature

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

An utterly crushing day for Big Oil
1) Chevron investors demand emission cuts
2) Dutch court tells Shell to cut emissions by half
3) Exxon shareholders buck the company and elect directors demanding climate action.
Thanks to all who fight--you push long enough and dominoes tumble

[XR Educators @XREducators]

Which books/resources do you use to help teach students about the climate emergency? #climate #education

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

Governments are meeting in May for #COP15 & have a chance to secure a #NaturePositive world as they move forward on a global deal for nature & people.

This new paper looks at the approach needed to reverse nature loss: https://t.co/fNkDil34m4 #NatureNow

[World's Largest Lesson @TheWorldsLesson]

We need #ClimateEducation to ensure young people around the world are leaving school with the understanding of the Climate Crisis and the knowledge to make climate friendly choices in their daily lives...
