I organized a role-play where students took on different global roles (developed vs. developing countries) to understand responsibility and impact.
How do you help students explore climate justice in your classroom?

That’s a great initiative! Role-play is a powerful way to help students grasp complex global issues like climate justice. In my classroom, I encourage students to explore climate justice through interactive activities such as debates, case studies, and project-based learning. We examine how climate change affects different regions unequally and discuss the responsibilities of developed versus developing nations. I also integrate real-world examples and SDGs to help them connect global issues with local actions. The goal is to build empathy, critical thinking, and a sense of shared responsibility for a more sustainable future. -
@Sanaa This includes transitioning away from fossil fuels, promoting sustainable practices, and addressing the systemic issues that contribute to environmental degradation.

@Sanaa Helps students understand that climate change is not only a scientific issue, but also a human rights issue.

@Shaista-Begum Absolutely! Shifting from fossil fuels and embracing sustainability is the foundation of long-term climate justice. Your point about addressing systemic issues really adds depth to the discussion.

Well said! Climate change is deeply linked to social and human rights. Recognizing it as more than a scientific challenge helps students see the moral and ethical responsibilities too.

Thank you for the suggestion! Inviting local environmentalists or climate activists to speak would be a great way to inspire students and raise awareness about real-world environmental challenges. Their experiences and insights can really help connect classroom learning with community action. We'll definitely consider reaching out to local advocates for upcoming events or workshops.
