Grant Overview

Integrated Climate Change Education Programs in Utah

Utah is confronting the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change, which is affecting its environment, economy, and public health. A report from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality indicates that the state has experienced increased drought and wildfires over the past two decades, making climate education a pressing issue for K-14 educators and their students.

Communities throughout the stateespecially in rural areas like the Uintah Basinare witnessing firsthand the impacts of climate change but often lack the resources to integrate relevant education into their curricula. Teachers highlight a consistent need for more comprehensive support to effectively engage students in climate science and promote environmental stewardship.

This grant initiative aims to develop integrated climate change education programs that are tailored to Utah's unique environmental context. By partnering with local environmental organizations and institutions, K-14 educators will gain access to abundant resources that enable them to teach climate science in a compelling way. This effort seeks to empower youth with the knowledge and tools they need to address environmental issues directly impacting their communities.

The expected outcomes include measurable improvements in students' understanding of scientific principles related to climate change and their capacity to apply these principles to real-world situations. This knowledge is critical in Utah, where public engagement with climate issues is essential for long-term resilience and adaptation.

By focusing on comprehensive and engaging climate change education, Utah stands to equip its students with the skills necessary for informed decision-making and advocacy. This initiative not only addresses an urgent environmental concern but also strengthens the state’s commitment to preparing its youth for active and responsible citizenship in a changing world.
