Advocacy & Policy

EEON advocates for more and better environmental, climate and sustainability education within the formal education system. We therefore also insist that teachers be trained, equipped and supported in this transformational work, and that funding be provided by governments for these purposes. 

The context is that students are already suffering mentally and physically due to climate change and biodiversity collapse, but they are taught little about these existential threats. It is our responsibility both to inform them and to prepare them with the skills and values that are relevant to this time, and their lives.
