The development of learners’ geographical thinking about climate change rests upon teachers’ role as curriculum makers in engaging the context of learning. The topic is inherently complex, and the literature has shown that students have confused beliefs about the phenomenon, positive strong opinions on its mitigation, and admitting that the issue is a difficult and overwhelming matter that is beyond the capacity and control of a young person. Using Singapore as a case study, this chapter examines challenges for teachers attempting to execute a curriculum centred on developing geographical thinking for climate change as a key topic in secondary school geography.
