In this session, we’ll explore how integrating sustainability and climate change into K–12 education by incorporating problem-based learning (PBL) and design thinking, we can actively engage students in real-world environmental challenges, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. This approach not only deepens their understanding of climate change, but also equips them with the skills to develop innovative solutions and become empowered change-makers in their communities. Best practices and exemplar (integrated across content areas) sustainability PBLs will be shared.
