Fostering educator resilience: Engaging the educational community to address the natural hazards of climate change

Abstract

Climate change and the natural hazards associated with it are some of the greatest environmental, economic, and political challenges of our time. Given how important students are to the future of addressing these issues, it is surprising that those who are tasked with educating them, teachers, have been so greatly overlooked. This chapter will address the challenges and opportunities for creating a resilient, supported, and informed educational community that can work with students to plan for the future.
