Where learning happens is as important - or even more important - than what is being taught. This week’s Climate Conversation with Dr. Hart Banack from the UNBC School of Education explores the benefits of outdoor learning, and how conversations around climate change and sustainability start in how we relate to the natural world around us.

Climate change is more than just a science problem. This week’s Climate Conversation with Dr. Zoe Meletis digs into issues of power, identity, and whose voices get heard.

What does climate change look like on the ground—and whose knowledge are we missing? This week’s Climate Conversation with Dr. Tristan Pearce will bring you to the rapidly changing Arctic and local communities in northern BC. Along the way we discuss climate adaptation, Indigenous knowledge, and why practical solutions should start with the people closest to the change.

What does it take to teach climate change without leaving students - and their teachers - overwhelmed? In this episode of The Climate Conversation, climate education researcher Dr. Alexander Lautensach explores how teachers can connect climate change with ethics, ecology, and everyday life. Our conversation challenged some of my pre-conceived notions of progress, optimism, and pessimism, and I hope it also has an impact on you. –JMS The Climate Conversations were filmed and produced with the support of the Council of Deans, Faculty of Environment, and the Department of Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Northern British Columbia.
