Climate Reality recently relaunched the Green Schools Campaign, a program focused on seeding local campaign teams of students, teachers, parents, and community members to call for the transition of their schools, school transportation, and school districts to 100% clean energy.  In addition, efforts are underway to advance climate education and professional learning opportunities in New York’s P-12 Schools.

Learn how students, teachers, parents, and community members can get involved in our statewide efforts in New York.  Hear about upcoming programs to train and mobilize our chapter and community members to promote green schools in our state. 

Our speakers will be:

Sidney Miralao, Climate Reality Project Youth Engagement Manager who will share plans for an upcoming full day green schools training program in New York, as well as share resources for mobilizing students and citizens in the effort.

Rachel Arbor, CEO & Founder of Gaia Scholastic, NY State Lead for Subject to Climate and presidential innovation award winner for environmental educators from the White House and EPA to share educational resources for integrating climate into the classroom curriculum.

Emily Fano, Director, Climate Resilience Education at National Wildlife Federation, convener of an intergenerational coalition of high school students, education professionals and NGOs that are partnering with the New York State Education Department, unions, and lawmakers to advance climate education and teacher training in New York through policy, advocacy and public education.
