This article argues for the importance of labor education in fighting the climate crisis, a vital form of education too often overlooked in the climate movement. Drawing on a case study of unionized culture workers in the United Kingdom, the article seeks to show the distinctive embedded nature of labor education. Success of labor education on the…

In this inquiry, I explore, expose, and extrapolate upon sociopolitical and environmental absurdism as an environmental academic and educator based in Alberta, Canada--a well-known, and somewhat infamous, centre of oil and gas production and energy development in general. Moving beyond Alberta as a catalytic example, I introduce and discuss…

Fossil fuel corporations play a significant role in promoting their interests in schools and other educational institutions, a practice that has recently been labelled as 'petro-pedagogy.' But this role goes beyond the production of the pro-petroleum and anti-science corporate propaganda that tends to attract the most critical attention. In this…

A large proportion of people in western societies do not believe in the concept of human-induced climate change (HICC), and oil-dependent economies might be expected to have more climate contrarian populations than others. Recent recessions in the Norwegian oil industry caused an influx of dismissed oil engineers into Norwegian science teacher…

This study explores the integration of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within the Projek Penguatan Profil "Pelajar Pancasila" (P5) under "Kurikulum Merdeka," involving 54 early childhood educators from 21 early childhood education centers in a coal-mining region of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Following a 20-day,…

Subjectification in environmental movement education comprises an influx of more-than-human 'others,' including the classical elements: air, water, earth, fire. In this conceptual article, I consider what environmental movement education research, which includes inquiring into processes of political subjectification, might entail, when thinking…

The evolution to a just, Low Carbon and Circular Economy could be accelerated if additional education and training professionals embraced the practical implications of terms such as Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) or for Sustainability (ES). Therefore, this study identified the numerous elements of Environmental and Sustainability…

Using the empowering tool of PhotoVoice, this study invites a group of Palestinian-Israeli high-school students to document and report problems in their environment to an invited audience of influential figures from their community. In a context where the focus is on teaching linguistic skills and standards detached from students' lives, students…

The corporate control of energy production and the reach of fossil capital into civil and political society can be understood as a regime of obstruction that is preventing necessary action on climate change and blocking a just energy transition. In addition to overt forms of economic power and influence, hegemonic power is central to the fossil…

In this paper, we compared the levels of awareness, knowledge and attitudes (AKA) about environmental pollution of secondary school students from two South African provinces. The purpose was to determine the levels of AKA between students living under different environmental conditions. These two groups were students from a coal-mining province…

This article is based on a case study that follows the trajectory of a technological device aimed at environmental education from the engineering laboratory in which it was designed into the contexts in which it is used. "Greendrive" is a driving simulator that accurately reproduces the performance of a vehicle in terms of fuel…

The likelihood of adverse health impacts from climate change is high. Actions to reduce emissions, however, not only mitigate climate change but often have more immediate health co-benefits. One substantial co-benefit is gained through reductions of the high health costs of pollution from fossil fuel power stations, particularly coal. Evidence…

Reports on the results of a questionnaire administered to 14- and 15-year-old students (n=1637) in 25 British schools concerning their views on how car exhaust emissions affect global environmental problems. Children's beliefs discussed include the connection of car exhaust to global warming, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the ozone layer.…
