SXSW 2023
Is Ignorance Bliss? Not When it Comes to Climate
Description:
The science is clear: we are in a climate crisis and far from where we need to be. Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of how dire the situation is and what has brought us here. One major reason for this is the lack of accessible climate education. Far too often, climate information is difficult to find, only available in English, and written in scientific jargon. Who actually knows what carbon neutral or net-zero means?
Join us for a panel that features climate activists and communicators as we explore the state of climate education today. What is taught in schools? How do we ensure that information on the climate crisis is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background?
