Youth climate concerns

For example, 15 young men are trying to sue the Canadian government for its inaction on climate change. At the same time, he invites 5 high school students to talk more about climate…at school!

Curriculum review for environment and climate change education, is it possible? And in court what is the legal argument?

Isabelle Bourgogne talks about it with:

This lawsuit was filed in October 2019. The Federal Court agreed with the government in 2020 denying court jurisdiction in the case. This case was resumed in November 2020. We have now completed the arguments before the Court of Appeal: What’s next?

Concretely, what is required of the court?

This isn’t the first lawsuit: Environnement Jeunesse took court and fell short of its objective a few years ago. What’s the difference this time?

And what is this other initiative, supported by AESTQ, to get from the Quebec Minister of Education a review of the program, in order to include climate change education? Marie Malthus tells us where the idea for this letter came from.

What are the needs of science and technology educators with regard to climate change education?
