Resources
Here's a list of some of the organizations we see taking leadership and making a big impact in the climate education and action space. Most of these organizations have resources that are very relevant and helpful for educators and/or students in Canada that are looking to increase climate literacy and climate action in their schools. There's a lot to explore here, and we know lists like this can be very overwhelming! If you are new to exploring climate action and are wondering where to start, or if you're looking for something specific we'd love to chat with you and provide personal recommendations about resources you should start with! You can schedule a call with us and we can chat about you and your school, where you're at in terms of your level of climate engagement, and what specific resources we would recommend for you check out.
Every year we receive applications from schools across Canada seeking funding to support emissions reduction projects they want to implement. Many of these schools are implementing their own versions of these common community-based emissions reduction strategies. Here, we've curated simple, beginner-friendly resource guides, packaging up some of the best resources we've found for each of the most popular solution ideas we've received.
