Climate change is the key challenge of our time. Young people deserve an education that prepares them to meet this challenge—to live well, work together, and build a greener, more just world.

Hosted by the Center for Climate Literacy at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, "Teaching Climate Justice with Young People’s Literatures and Media" will bring together 25 K12 teachers to explore how stories can empower young people to develop the skills, attitudes, values, and beliefs necessary to advance climate justice. From June 30-July 3, 2025, the Institute will be on Zoom. From July 14-25, the participants will convene in-person on the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Campus.
