As we develop engaged and active citizens we need to empower them to engage in actions that:

Mitigate climate change (e.g. reduce actions that release CO2 into the atmosphere
Adapt to CC (reduce the social & ecological risks and learn how to live with CC)
Build resilience (make ecosystems and people stronger in the face of CC

Air (atmosphere) including rain and clouds.
Water (hydrosphere) including oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.
Soil (pedosphere) or land.
Living things (biosphere) including plants, animals, people, etc.
Snow or ice (cryosphere).
Rocks (lithosphere); and
Sunlight for energy.
At this point the emphasis changes slightly to how these features make Earth habitable and able to sustain life. Reasons given may include that Earth has:

Water.
An atmosphere with oxygen.
Soil with nutrients.
Carbon.
Gravity.
Sun that helps plants make food that we can eat; and
Right temperature.

Through the Fundisa for Change and Hanprint for Care programme we have identified three different schematic tools to support teachers in the process of including ESD in School Subject Teaching.

These tools include:

An active learning framework for ESD
Working with the SDGs
Including ESD competences in lesson planning
