Using the local community as the classroom is a great way to get students thinking as citizen. This tweet inspires us to think about #cleanenergy for future generations and what we can do now #ClimateAction #SDG13

Renewable energy: World’s largest battery to be built in Hunter Valley. This is why I pushed for, and together with unions, environmentalists, the ALP and even some in the Coalition, we got, renewable energy zones in the Hunter, Central Coast and Illawarra https://t.co/Rlc4HmBUtL

Using the local news/articles is a great resource to get students thinking about global issues and how they can get involved through citizenship. #ClimateAction

Shocking scenes from Australia reveal climate extremes in action – and why Aussies want BOLD environmental action taken amid record rain, heat and a bleached Great Barrier Reef. https://t.co/DCd9tgduVH

Let’s get the next generation thinking of ways to #takeaction. Students redesign their school to create a zero #carbonfootprint space with a view on sustainable architecture.

Today students are growing up in a world where people are trying to save our planet. This is good news! To see #cleanenergy working on a global scale. Your action makes a difference #takeAction

[Climate Good @climate_good]

For the first time, wind and solar generated more than 10% of electricity globally in 2021, according to the Global Electricity Review 2022.

It is interesting how other places manage with natural disasters like #flooding. This concept of #spongecities protects areas prone to flooding. Students can redesign their local area to make it safe for all #ClimateAction #globalwarming

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

A good move by #China turns cities into sponges to stop flooding
Instead of relying on "gray infrastructure" of levees, pipes, dams and channels, sponge cities allow urban areas to absorb water in times of high rainfall and release it in times of drought.https://t.co/BtRYrMyQyM

Climate Change is a global issue and as global citizens, we all need to take action. Let's do 1 act on Earth Day 2022 to make a small difference. See the list below and share how you have reduced your carbon footprint today.

Earth Day 22/04/2022. Let's stand together to combat climate change for future generations. We need to act now! What does Climate Action mean to you? SDG13

Here are a few great Picture Books that relate to Climate Change. Can you suggest any others?

In my Unit of work for a Stage 2 class, students will create a sustainable net zero school. Rethink #renewableenergy and #CarbonNeutral.

[Minecraft @Minecraft]

Building a futuristic school, designing sustainable cities, and learning more about indigenous cultures are just a few of the amazing ways young people are using Minecraft to work together, solve problems, and build a better world!

This is a powerful image to show students. It brings tough global issues to the surface. Talking about these issues is not enough. Students will be encouraged to use their critical and creative thinking to solve them.

Most humans have forgotten that we are #nature. Nature is not something separate from us. In the losing of our connection to nature we are losing connection to ourselves... 🦋LJC

What is a sustainable school? A school that is built with #ecobricks and other sustainable materials. Alternative sources of energy is incorporated. The school is #NetZero. Share what you think is a sustainable school.

De Bono’s 6 thinking hats will be used in my unit of work for #ClimateAction #SDG13. This will provide an easy thinking process for students as climate change is a huge global issue to tackle.

Have you ever thought about a school mascot? What about this #NetZero hero mascot who can talk about climate change in school assembly and discuss ways we can make a difference. It is engaging and fun for students. What animal would best reflect your school?

This Cause and Effect graphic organiser is a great resource to use when teaching #climatechange. Students can use this visual to guide their thinking of global issues. Everything has a consequence. How is flooding a cause of climate change?

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

@mrsperkoteaches As teachers, we are continuously needing to upskill due to the evolution of science and technology.

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

@EarthKeeper22 Yes. It is rewarding to teach the next generation about Global issues and investigate ways to solve them. They overflow with curiosity and innovation.

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

@dgraygoogdoc Wow, those are excellent books to use! Linking climate change topics to Literacy is helpful.

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

Let’s grow plants that store more carbon in the roots and soil. An article I read recently shared that the older the plant grows, the more carbon it stores. Sadly, this is still not enough for the amount of carbon produced globally. https://t.co/yKZhJiEs4m

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

@mrsperkoteaches I like that you can use it on IWB as a whole-class activity or on a worksheet for small groups. Twinkl has many great resources.

[Rachel Deetlefs @rachyJroo]

@PlayCraftLearn Climate change is a global issue at the moment. Minecraft is an exceptional tool to allow students the opportunity to be creative in solving problems by designing a virtual world of sustainability. Such a useful reminder on Earth Day.
