AI Summary
This bill requires that climate change and sustainability education be taught in elementary and high schools across New York to educate students about the causes of climate change, its effects, the dangers associated with it, and preventative measures that can be taken. The Commissioner of Education will create a comprehensive and accurate curriculum for this purpose, which schools must begin teaching in the first school year after the curriculum has been established. The bill also allows the New York City school system or local school boards to adopt their own curriculum, as long as it substantially complies with the state's curriculum.
