Amidst increasing environmental concern around the world, how effective has the role of education been in mitigating the impacts of climate change? The potential of education is enormous. Education not only informs people, it can change them. As a means for personal enlightenment and for cultural renewal, education is not only central to sustainable development, it is humanity’s best hope and most effective means in the quest to achieve sustainable development. It is timely to address the issue of climate change education since climate change is occurring at unprecedented rate, scale and complexity.

This project aims to publish a second edition of the book “Climate Change Education – Knowing, Doing and Being” with Routledge. Since its first edition in 2014, the book has been well-subscribed internationally. It was reviewed in CHOICE connect, a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries as well as the journal International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education. The book was also subsequently reprinted in a paperback version.

In its second edition in 2022, Chang further explores what education for climate change entails, discussing the concept of climate change education (CCE) itself, how it is taught in schools and how public education is being carried out. This book will be invaluable to climate change educators and can act as a reference resource for teachers, education policymakers and public education agencies.
