International educators share how they’ve used Climate Literacy Training to inform their teaching, educate other faculty, or connect with practitioners – and how you can do it too.
In the fourth session of the monthly NBS Series on Teaching Climate in Business Schools, participants explored the Climate Literacy Training for Educators, Communities, Organizations and Students (CLT-ECOS). CLT-ECOS is a widely used training that helps educators understand climate fundamentals, including high impact climate solutions.
This session, co-hosted by CLT-ECOS leader Dr Petra Molthan-Hill, provided an overview on what the CLT offers. To illustrate the program’s potential and impact, multiple educators from around the world briefly shared the diverse ways that they’ve used the CLT in a variety of settings – from theatre and banking industries to business school programs in Latin America, the EU, and the Middle East.
The session closed with breakout rooms where participants explored how they might apply CLT in their work.
Below, you’ll find the session recording, (including participant Q&A), presentation slides, and additional materials shared by presenters and participants.
