Trócaire, an overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland, has worked with educators to produce resource packs for primary, senior primary, and post-primary classes respectively.

The resources were designed with Irish contexts and curricula in mind, however educators outside of Ireland will have no problems adapting the resources to context where necessary. Similarly, many of the activities and thematic content can be used and adapted by educators working at different educational stages.

Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis (GICC) is a curriculum resource that supports geography teachers to explore the relationships between global inequality and the climate crisis with Key Stage 3 classes, using the country of Cameroon as a case study.

The resource was produced in partnership with the Decolonising Education for Peace in Africa (DEPA) project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council’s Global Challenges Research Fund as well as Impact Accelerator Account funding from the University of Lancaster.

This website comprises resources to support educators’ own engagement with climate justice, and resources that can be used with students at a range of educational stages. There are brief commentaries about the resources, and the organisations that have produced them. 

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.

This book, aligned to the Irish Junior Cycle Religious Education curriculum, explores five major world religions and humanism and includes ideals of diversity and inclusivity.

The themes of social and environmental justice run across the text, and activities are designed to prompt respectful debate and inclusive insight. Chapters and courses focus upon stewardship and the environment through creative writing. 

This booklet was produced as part of Young People at a Crossroads, a research project in which researchers worked with migrant-background young people in Manchester, UK and Melbourne, Australia to explore migrant family perspectives on climate change education, action and adaptation. These perspectives were published in a creative book that was co-authored by young participants in the project.

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.

A blog that challenges English teachers, and in particular those teaching English as an additional language, to consider how they can incorporate climate justice into their English teaching.
