The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors

This book is a significantly useful tool for teachers who are interested in teaching children about climate change and sustainability in an active way in the outdoors. There is nothing more important than creating children who are happy healthy learners with a deep respect and understanding for the natural environment and this book helps teachers to do exactly that. * Louise Edwards, Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development * Those in educational settings, from strategic leadership through to teachers, teaching assistants and parents, will be inspired and motivated with the agency and permission of providing a culture for learning outdoors this new book brings. * Matthew Dampier, Head Teacher Droxford Junior School * A pioneering resource that emphasizes the importance of embedding climate change into every lesson.
