Abstract

Young activists leading the Scottish Climate Strikes demand a) climate justice and b) the prioritisation of climate crisis in education. Taking these demands seriously, the Education for Climate Justice Programme Team brought together diverse stakeholders over a series of events in order to examine what it means to truly place social justice at the heart of efforts to address the climate crisis in education. By diverse stakeholders, we mean young climate activists, young people of colour (who were not all climate activists per se, but rather were passionate about the relationship between climate (in)action and social justice), community-based adult learners, teachers, youth workers, academics, trade unionists and other key players such as Learning for Sustainability Scotland. Our workshops focused on three initial themes: centring anti-racist and decolonial perspectives in climate education and action; education for a just transition; centring the emotions in education for climate justice.
