Human-induced climate change is supported by scientific data (CSIRO, 2024), but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2023) states that the pace and
scale of climate action are insufficient to address climate change. Therefore, we are calling for courageous political leadership, clear planning, and proper resourcing to
improve how climate change is taught in Australian classrooms. This call to action is directed to education policymakers, school systems, teacher unions, and teacher
professional associations, because strong action is needed across the whole system to guide national direction and to build teachers’ skills and confidence.
