Published in Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018. "Although climate change is arguably the most important global problem of the twenty-first century, this research project indicates that universities and colleges have failed to update the general education curriculum and ensure that all students are exposed to education about climate science and climate change."

Presentation by Dr. Martha Monroe, Professor of Environmental Education at the University of Florida, based on a review of 49 research papers that reported effective strategies for teaching about climate change.

"This open access volume draws on a multidimensional model of educational change. The book reviews the field of climate change education and identifies some of the areas in which past efforts have fallen short in supporting effective pedagogical change at scale. It then formulates an approach to engage university students and faculty in partnering with schools and adult education institutions and directly contribute innovative curricula on climate change."

"A comprehensive climate curriculum would spend most of the time covering topics besides climate science. The model described [in this article] highlights various disciplines and a few key texts that can contribute to a well-rounded understanding of the complexities of the climate crisis and encourage efforts to change systems." Springer, 2022.
