As feelings of eco-grief and climate anxiety grow, educators are grappling with how to help students learn about the violent systems causing climate change while simultaneously navigating the emotions this knowledge elicits. This book provides resources for developing emotional and existential tenacity in college classrooms so that students can stay engaged.

These sets of resources, aimed at ages 9-11 (primary pack) and 11-16 (secondary pack) respectively each offer ways of bringing climate justice into the context through five interlinked topics.

The topics can be used sequentially or as standalone topics. Each topic comes with a lesson plan, incorporating stories, pictures, film and role play to investigate the human element of the climate crisis in age and curriculum-appropriate ways.

Christian Aid has produced a set of interactive activities for small groups to critically explore the impacts of weather-related disasters in different contexts.

The worksheets and assembly resources use real world examples and images to explore how the impacts of disasters differ and how this relates to pre-existing inequalities. This can be a segway into introducing climate justice.
