Improve teaching of climate science in schools.
Make David Attenborough’s book ‘A life on our planet’ a compulsory part of the school curriculum.
This book will provide students with a factual text about the reality of climate change whilst also providing information about how current and future generations can reverse the affects we are already experiencing.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The educational materials used to teach school students is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.
The national curriculum already requires that students be taught about the evidence, and uncertainties in evidence, for additional anthropogenic causes of climate change, and potential effects of, and mitigation of, increased levels of carbon dioxide and methane on the Earth’s climate: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/840002/Secondary_national_curriculum_corrected_PDF.pdf
We could accept a petition calling for changes to curriculum content on climate change, but it would need to be clear what changes you wanted to be made.
