Climate change education is a rapidly evolving field. This event aims to foster collaboration among a diverse group of educators committed to embedding climate literacy into the ethos of high school education in Los Angeles. Through meaningful dialogue, shared strategies, and community-building, participants will begin cultivating a county-wide network of action-oriented climate educators.
