Abstract

The educational system should cultivate a generation committed to environmental stewardship and equipped to combat climate change. While individuals of all ages can glean knowledge about climate issues from media sources, educators hold a unique capacity to instill environmental literacy in their students who need adequate preparation and support. This research utilized an unstructured direct observation method to explore the impact of an environmental initiative on empowering educators involving 15 high school teachers and 150 students from the USA, India, and Bangladesh. Data analysis was conducted through the lens of the Environmental Education Strategies Framework. The findings indicated that effective strategies for conveying information and building understanding supported teachers in empowering students with improved skills to conduct sustainable actions. This chapter also highlights the challenges faced by the coordination team for project execution and shares recommendations for all stakeholders for future planning.
