climate action heroes virtual field trip

about

Climate Action Heroes—unite! We all play an important role in the fight against climate change. In this 20-minute video, Dreamers will learn the difference between weather and climate, the effects of climate change, and the importance of using their climate action superpowers for good! This virtual field trip includes interviews with 7 real-life Climate Action Heroes as well as a lab experiment that tests what a warming climate means for Planet Earth and its inhabitants. We recommend familiarizing yourself with all the tools and resources below prior to viewing.

Climate Action Heroes virtual field trip and corresponding resources were made possible through the generosity of Joseph E Robert Jr Charitable Trust.
