Podcasts about Nature-based Teaching and Climate Crisis Education
Significant climate disruption will create a Dark Age, ostensibly the first phase of this epochal shift. Many systems will begin to unravel, although the overall pace and scenarios are under debate. We see early signs already, from the doubling and intensity of natural disasters, rise in global epidemics, precipitous decline in biodiversity, and the scarcity stimulating war and environmental refugees. We know there is a hard climate deadline with little time left for addressing climate change drivers. Those alive today are the transitional generations. We have a historic choice to make, in terms of how we respond to these factors pressing in on us. This choice will determine the significance of our individual lives as well as our collective future as humanity, part of our Great Work. There is much we can do. . . While we might think we are only one ... in reality, we are the many. We, especially educators, can facilitate the emerging while the old is crumbling.
