The UWI Regional Headquarters Jamaica. Tuesday, April 6, 2021. It’s been a long COVID-19 year for teachers and students. Meanwhile, in another threat facing the world’s population, the planet kept getting hotter; 2020 tied for the hottest year that humans have ever experienced. Yet, it is likely that 2020 will be one of the coolest years in the next 100 unless we change course quickly. As Earth Month (April) begins, many educators are focused on how to engage students on this critical issue.
This April, The University of the West Indies (The UWI) is helping overworked teachers, from every subject, bring climate change into the classroom. This opportunity is not just for environmental science classes. Climate change touches every discipline: psychology, political science, engineering, literature, natural science, art, communication, music, economics, philosophy and more.
