Climate Crisis and Our Children
By 2025, Earth had reached record-breaking heat—roughly 1.5°C warmer than pre-industrial times. Children feel the sharpest impacts of this warming through severe heatwaves, disruptions to school and home life, and health risks, yet they have the least say in how the world adapts. Protecting their future means giving young people the tools, knowledge, and voice to thrive in a rapidly changing climate.
Our Learning Philosophy
Standard curricula teach students about climate change, treating it as an isolated scientific subject. ElemenTree champions a transformative approach: "Learning FOR" the planet. We integrate scientific rigour with social-emotional learning and real-world action to empower climate stewards everywhere.
-
Developing Self: Encouraging learners to reflect on their values, identities, and daily choices, shifting them from passive consumers of information to conscious agents of personal transformation.
-
Developing Community: Building deep, empathetic relationships with both human neighbours and local ecosystems—recognising that meaningful climate action is inherently collective.
-
Understanding the World: Cultivating systems thinking and critical inquiry to investigate the root systemic causes of the climate crisis across science, governance, economics, and history.
-
Creating Change: Utilising design-thinking methodologies to empower learners to translate empathy into action—prototyping solutions, partnering with local stakeholders, and leading real-world projects.
Our Mission is to empower 1 million children by 2030 for climate adaptation and action through Climate Education.
Elementree works at the intersection of climate, education, and research—enabling children and communities to lead with knowledge and resilience.
Climate Change Education
We work closely with students to implement a Climate Literacy Programme designed using games, quizzes, drama and case studies. The objective is to spread awareness about climate change, observe the changes around and understand its impact on ecosystems and biodiversity. We integrate themes of biodiversity, waste, water and energy in context to local need.
Our capacity-building programs for educators help them to take climate education to classrooms.
Climate Leadership
Climate leadership is an Awareness to Action initiative to empower children for climate adaptation and action through climate education. It is integrated as part of our climate education curriculum to provide experiential learning to the child to design localized solutions.
UNICEF’s Children’s Climate Risk Index reveals that 1 billion children are at ‘extremely high risk’ of the impacts of climate change. That is nearly half of all children.
