About SubjectToClimate

For teachers,
by teachers.

We’re current and former teachers building the free resources we wish we’d had: K–12 education can bring climate into every subject, so every learner can turn what they learn into action.

The people behind it

Built in classrooms, not boardrooms.

Our team is current and former teachers, scientists, and climate educators. Educators write and review our lessons, scientists check every resource for accuracy, and our advisory board and board of directors guide the work.
