This seminal volume responds to the pressing need to prepare all children and young people for a sustainable future in light of the climate crisis, providing clear and accessible information and strategies on how to fully embed sustainability into pedagogy and supporting current and future educators.This book explores key environmental issues before exploring a range of pedagogies, each grounded in hope and exemplifying the principles of inclusion, empowerment, agency and social justice. Chapters explore major themes such as climate migration and displacement, climate activism, nature connectedness, sustainable leadership and eco-anxiety to offer practical, scalable pedagogies that connect with the natural world. Designed to channel climate anxieties into energy for a reinvigorated, sustainable future of education, this book encourages an accessible and considered approach to classroom practice. Featuring contributions from wealth of international experts in the field, the volume ultimately provides a valuable resource for educators and students of education in all phases to develop the confidence to take an active lead in shaping education to help ensure a sustainable future.This book will appeal to educators, policymakers and researchers in environmental and sustainability education, teacher education, social justice education and educational leadership. Curriculum designers as well as those working across primary, secondary and higher education will also find the volume of interest.
