Climate change is widely accepted as a global crisis that is significantly impacting world economies, environments, and societies. Communities in northern British Columbia (BC) are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to uneven warming of the globe, which has led to increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, extreme events (e.g., atmospheric rivers and wildfires), biodiversity threats, health issues, and disruptions of traditional ways of life. Clearly, education plays an important role in fostering understanding, adapting, and acting on climate change; though, climate change education approaches of K-12 teachers in northern BC have not been studied. The Climate Education in Teacher Education (CETE) research project responds to the 2022 Association of Canadian Deans of Education report titled “Accord on Education for a Sustainable Future,” that underscored urgency for climate change education. Using the collaborative and participatory methodology of Educational Design-Based Research (EDBR), CETE partnered with two leading Canadian education experts, Institute for Environmental Learning (IEL) and Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF) and created a design team with other teacher educators, scholars, and experts in climate change education to guide the intervention with in-service and pre-service teachers in northern BC. Climate change impacts everyone. Empowering teachers through climate change education empowers youth, and thus, the wellness of the global community.
