A research-backed methodology that helps educators and organizations integrate climate and environmental justice into their education programs.
The Challenge
Most educators want to teach climate change but face a packed curriculum, limited training, or tools that ignore the design elements that make climate change education transdisciplinary and truly transformative. The result: climate change gets treated as a separate (often, science) subject rather than woven into how and what all educators teach every day.
Our Response
The CIDP is an iterative, justice-centered methodology that helps educators weave climate and environmental justice into the whats and ways they teach, connecting to existing standards, curricula, and contexts across any learning ecosystem while pushing for deeper engagement in systems change and collective climate action. The CIDP can be applied to a single lesson or an entire academic year.
Field-defining research and policy advocacy—generating evidence to shape policy and practice across interconnected systems, from education to the green and blue economy.
