Bill > A03468

This bill requires that climate change and sustainability education be taught in elementary and high schools across New York State. The curriculum must cover how human activities cause climate change, the effects of climate change, the associated dangers, and preventative measures that can be taken. The Commissioner of Education will create and establish this comprehensive curriculum, which schools must begin teaching in the first school year after the curriculum's certification. Schools must provide the necessary facilities, time, and learning materials to effectively teach this content.
