Climate and Health Youth Education Toolkit

The American Public Health Association's Children's Environmental Health Committee has developed a toolkit to help. The Climate and Health Youth Education Toolkit includes a 100-minute lesson plan and a customizable PowerPoint slide deck. This lesson plan is based on the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Climate and Health lesson plans.

You can find more resources to help you engage with schools and students on the Children's Environmental Health Committee website. These include:

• Email template
• Recruitment flyer
• Social media
• Tips from a high school teacher
• Youth Take Action flyer
• Climate to Health relay race activity
• Resources page (including mental health resources)

Students are eager to learn about climate change and teachers need support to teach about it. You are positioned to be an expert resource for them! Learn more and make a difference in your community!

Please feel free to use the email templates for public and environmental health colleagues, school staff, and parent teacher organizations to help you communicate with your local schools and parent teacher organizations.
