Featuring updated literature in a quickly advancing field, the book defines climate change education for the global citizen and looks at pedagogies supporting CCE. It also identifies teachers as key stakeholders in climate change discourse and how to improve teacher readiness on the topic, and how teacher professional development can support successful implementation of CCE.
