Quick Summary / Abstract:
|
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District believes that each student shall graduate with the knowledge, skills and orientations needed to be climate literate members of society.
|
|
Background:
|
As future caretakers of our planet earth, the youth of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) are increasingly concerned about the challenges faced from impacts of climate change. To be prepared for this uncertain future, students need to graduate as climate literate members of society able to understand and fully engage on issues that will affect the health of our planet and human civilization. Greater understanding of the sources of climate change, of actions needed to reduce greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and of adaptation approaches that are just and equitable are of paramount importance for LVJUSD students. Prioritization of K-12 climate change education will provide LVJUSD the opportunity to create an educational environment that successfully prepares Livermore students for the climate change challenges ahead.
Arising out of the Livermore Youth Climate Summit, students from Granada High School and Livermore High School, along with Members of Tri-Valley Youth Climate Action Project (sponsored by Quest Science Center), created this Resolution.
