Today I am talking to Earth Institute, Columbia University's Dr. Radhika Iyengar. Dr. Iyengar works with Jeff Sachs at Centre for Sustainable Development as a Senior research scholar.  Join us for an eye-opening episode as we explore the critical issue of climate education. Despite the growing urgency of the climate crisis, there are still significant barriers to providing comprehensive and effective education on sustainability and climate issues. In this episode, we examine the challenges of inadequate funding and support for sustainability education initiatives, the lack of integration and emphasis of climate education in formal education systems, and the insufficient teacher training and professional development in sustainability education. We also delve into the issue of misinformation and denial of climate change and its impacts, as well as the disparities in access to sustainability education resources and opportunities. We discuss the importance of practical and hands-on learning opportunities in engaging and educating students, and the urgent need to address these issues to create a more equitable and sustainable future. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation on the critical importance of climate education.
