Climate Change & Environmental Justice Micro-Credentials

In 2023, This Is Planet Ed partnered with the National Education Association (NEA) and Subject to Climate to create a series of micro-credentials for NEA educators. The stack of micro-credentials will help educators gain the knowledge and skills they need to effectively understand how climate change impacts school communities and how to equip their classroom, their colleagues, and their students with the tools to help move toward climate justice for all.

The 6 micro credentials are focused on:

• Climate Awareness

• Climate Justice

• Climate Mitigation in Schools

• Climate Adaptation in Schools

• Climate Change and Communities

• Climate Education

The content for each mini course was created in partnership with educators, and includes a project in which educators demonstrate their mastery of the content. NEA has also recently developed a Climate Justice webpage which shares climate resources with educators and highlights climate change as a prominent issue for NEA.
