concept association
tool
For curriculum developers and other communicators to explore the diverse range of concepts associated with climate change and the links between them
Climate change constellation
A tool for curriculum developers and teachers
Purpose
This climate change tool was primarily developed for those involved in curriculum development, to help them explore which aspects of climate change are well covered by their proposed curriculum, where there are gaps and where there is duplication. However, it should be of use to anyone wishing to make sure that they cover the broad range of concepts associated with climate change in whatever they are doing, particularly in climate change communications.
If you have any suggestions, particularly about missing concepts or links, please contact education@rmets.org

Literacy statement
The Royal Meteorological Society believes that every student should leave school with the basic climate literacy that would enable them to engage with the messages put forward by the media or politicians or to make informed decisions about their own opportunities and responsibilities when it comes to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and also to equip them with the knowledge and skills required for the green jobs of the future.
