Climate change is already shaping the lives of young people around the globe. How should education respond to climate change as a lived reality rather than a possible future? This talk outlines the practical, moral, and pedagogical reasons why it makes sense to focus on adaptation, resilience, and transformation (ART). It clarifies the challenges posed by political controversy and examines the resources and support systems that would be needed to involve young people in climate change ART work at scale.
