Educators should reflect their students concerns about the state of the world

@ZurichMunicipal’s latest whitepaper: The Climate Change Challenge, launched on 15th July.

Younger generations are the conscience and the influencers on climate change. Educators need to reflect their students’ understandable concerns about the state of the world and their futures in it. Education institutions – at all levels – should be resilient and embed climate change transition into their operation and their teaching. Education should be the driving force to change behaviours.

Andrew Jepp, Managing Director, Zurich Municipal:

“We are facing up to the immediate challenges of a global emergency. The climate change emergency. While the COVID-19 pandemic is urgent and immersive, it is not the only global emergency public service organisations are acting on now.

“Over the past year many aspects have shifted rapidly: particularly policy-making and public sentiment. All organisations are now considering the climate impact of decisions and are developing holistic strategies to build resilience.

“Education institutions should embed de-carbonising services, building resilience and managing physical risks. We have to respond well to extreme events through consistent, effective recovery plans.”
