Australian Climate Change Education Summit and Action Plan

Isabel Mudford, Greens candidate for seat of Canberra.

YES to all 3 questions.

The Greens are committed to bold, transformative climate action to tackle the climate crisis and have a comprehensive plan to do so – unlike the major parties, who take millions in donations from fossil fuel corporations. In the fight for this transformative change, education is critical in empowering people to make informed decisions and advocate for political action. Yet, fossil fuel state capture filters down into our communities and schools, with real examples of fossil fuel companies designing, developing, and delivering climate change education. This has to stop. Woodside and Santos have no place in our schools, nor the design and delivery of climate change education. The Greens will support efforts to establish climate change education policy. We also have a plan to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships to remove their influence from our schools and communities, and fully fund public schools so they don’t have to depend on free resources designed by fossil fuel funded organisations. To ensure everyone has access to the information and support they need for a clean energy transition, the Greens will allocate $80m to fund national marketing and education campaigns around electrification, and ban misleading environmental and climate claims by businesses and government.

As a former educator, I intend to listen to educators, scientists and young people to find where the current gaps in resources and knowledge are. I will advocate for climate change education to be given adequate space in the curriculum to ensure that it can be taught, and educators are given skills and support to teach while addressing the misinformation currently being perpetuated by the right-wing to ensure our young people are under-informed. There is no time remaining for us to maintain “business as usual”, and young people need to be fully informed about what the risks of inaction are. That starts at school, and can not be done in half-measures.

Natalie Hanna, Greens candidate for Banks.

YES to all 3 questions.

The last time there was a minority government, the Greens secured world-leading climate laws, and won billions for clean energy. With more Greens in parliament, we can do it again.

We will:

• Stop new coal and gas.
• Expand publicly-owned renewable energy.
• End the billions in handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
• End native forest logging.
• Lower power bills by transitioning to more reliable, clean energy.
• Subsidise solar & batteries for homes & businesses.
• End fossil fuel subsidies for all industries except agriculture.
• Save koalas and our wildlife from extinction.
• Create thousands of jobs during the transition.
• Provide grants and low-interest loans to help households and small businesses electrify, install solar batteries, and cut emissions and energy bills.

We will make sure these initiatives are pursued across our community and we will push for information and education around the importance of these policies to be front and centre in the classroom.

Kate Hook, Independent candidate for Calare.

YES to all 3 questions.

Building strong climate change education is essential to prepare young Australians for the future. If elected, I will advocate for a national Climate Change Education Strategy that ensures every student has access to accurate, evidence-based information about climate science, sustainability, and adaptation.

This means integrating climate change across the national curriculum — not just in science, but also in geography, economics, and civics — and investing in professional development for teachers so they are confident to deliver this content.

I will support initiatives like Climate Smart Schools that combine education with practical action, including solar installations, shaded natural areas, and sustainability programs. I will also back partnerships between schools, universities and industry to create real-world pathways into clean energy, environmental management and innovation careers.

Building climate literacy is about empowering young people with knowledge, critical thinking skills, and hope for the future — not fear. It’s an investment in Australia’s future prosperity and resilience.

Caz Heise, Independent candidate for Cowper.

YES to all 3 questions.

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, and education must be part of the solution. If elected, I will support the development of a national climate change education framework that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking needed to understand and respond to our changing environment.

This includes advocating for curriculum reform that integrates climate science across all subjects, not just geography or science, and ensuring teachers are supported with the training and resources they need. I will also push for federal funding to support school-based sustainability programs, outdoor learning opportunities, and partnerships with local environmental organisations.

Regional students in places like Cowper are already seeing the impacts of climate change through floods, fires, and extreme weather, and they deserve an education system that prepares them to thrive in a future shaped by these challenges.

Greg Vigors, Labor candidate for Cowper.

YES to all 3 questions.

Set up a Climate Change Authority that has legislative power and works with the three tiers of government and industry to promote the use and benefits of green renewable power. Provide subsidies or low interest loans to hasten the change from fossil fuel to renewable energy. Increase government and industry targets for reduction in pollution and increase penalties and enforcement measures. Increase the availability of fast charging stations for EVs and explore ways we can make EVs more affordable. Set up a school program to educate young people on the global effects of climate change and how they can act locally to decrease their family’s carbon footprint. Continue subsidies and other incentives for domestic users to switch to solar power and domestic batteries. Increase the number of community storage batteries and expand the program of providing solar energy and batteries to social housing. Bring in legislation that all new domestic business and industrial structures must work towards zero emissions prior to receiving planning approval. Work with the agricultural sector to promote ways of decreasing emissions particularly in the cattle farming industry.

Engage directly with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) to access primary sources of information. Ensure all decisions are grounded in verified, evidence-based facts from ATSE’s official publications, reports, or statements. Avoid relying on or being influenced by third-party interpretations, representations, or subjective versions of the facts. Irrespective if I win or not, I will pursue, champion and advocate the science so the community is informed and can act.

Jocelyn Brewer, Greens candidate for Watson.

YES to all 3 questions.

I started my career as a geography teacher in 2002. As a climate action supporter, I recognize the critical importance of comprehensive climate education in our schools. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, and preparing students to understand and address the reality of the planet they will inherit is essential.
I support developing robust climate education that helps students understand the science, impacts, and solutions. This education should be evidence-based, age-appropriate, and integrated across subjects rather than isolated.
Climate education must balance scientific understanding with hope and agency, equipping young people with tools to create solutions without overwhelming them with eco-anxiety.
Education should include hands-on experiences connecting classroom knowledge to real-world applications. Supporting educators with appropriate resources ensures students develop skills needed for a sustainable future.
Our youth deserve an education that honestly addresses challenges while empowering them for positive change.

Allegra Spender, Independent candidate for Wentworth.

Did not complete survey, responded via email:

Climate action is a key priority for Allegra, and she believes it is vitally important that our children receive appropriate education about all aspects of climate change and our transition to renewable energy. 

Allegra is committed to stronger, accelerated climate action and better legislation to help protect our environment for future generations. She has delivered on her commitment to push for legislative action on these important issues, and has been instrumental in securing commitments from the Government that speed up our transition to renewables and protect our natural environment from further degradation.

You can find out more information about Allegra’s policies on climate action, what she has helped to achieve and her future plans in the attached document.

Allegra and her chief of staff Joe Fowles are very keen to stay informed about the Australian Climate Change Education Strategy and corresponding action plan. They would very much appreciate a briefing on it if Allegra is re-elected.

Ellie Smith, Independent candidate for Dickson.

Did not complete survey, responded via email:

As a community-backed independent, my positions are shaped by ongoing conversations with local residents, not by a party platform or national policy unit. That means while I can absolutely speak to my values and general position on most issues, I often can’t provide a clear position statement. In many cases, I align with the intent of a policy and am actively working towards it, listening to my community, engaging with experts and considering evidence-based data to inform my position and the development of policy.  

This is the difference with a community independent and a party candidate, I will listen to the views of community members and always consult with experts to ensure I, and the community, are well informed.

Right now, my campaign is fully focused on fixing the way politics is done in Dickson—bringing integrity, community voice, and real accountability back into the process. That means I haven’t had the time to complete every candidate survey, including yours, but I want to be clear: I believe in your cause. 

I agree that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and I believe political leaders have a responsibility to act decisively. I’m committed to making climate action a priority, informed by reputable science and grounded in practical, community-driven solutions. I also believe education is key to empowering future generations. I’ll support evidence based learning programs and encourage local initiatives that help young people lead and innovate in this space. I welcome the opportunity to work with your sector if I’m elected.

Lack of action on climate was a key motivator for me to run as a candidate for Groom.

We have much catching up to do to ensure all Australians understand and accept climate change science, with climate educators and communicators central to our success.

I will propose that we re-establish the 2010 Multi-party Climate Change Committee that worked briefly until a change of government.  I would like to see MPCCCs established in each region to inform a national MPCCC.  I see climate education advocates as central Multi-Party Climate Change Committees at all levels.

Toowoomba, in the Groom electorate and the second largest regional city in Australia, is a Queensland education hub with three excellent state high schools and at least 8 boarding schools, drawing students from all over northern Australia.

I would work locally with the University of Southern Queensland’s nationally influential Drought Hub, its Centre for Applied Climate Science, and its School of Education, which is home to education researchers who influence curriculum at both state and national level.

I will work with parties and cross-benchers to get this initiative established and budgeted for, and to ensure that climate education is a specific goal of the MPCCC program.

The overarching issue is how our planet is warming and our climates are changing. This governs everything else – the health of our environment, our food production, supplies and distribution systems; the shelters we have and where we live; our health and our water supplies. They will shape what happens to our children and those to follow.

Education is key to having societies change their practices to counter the destructive changes we are witnessing and the trends predicted by credible climate scientists.

I have taught preservice teachers about climate change and had them in assessment tasks model how global warming comes about, propose possible solutions sometimes using simulation programs, and communicate their findings.

As a science educator, I will continue to highlight how the climate is changing and its likely effects on all facets of society, as well emphasising the need for robust, well researched solutions to the multiplicity of problems that arise as a result of global warming. I hope that these efforts will contribute to establishing a national climate change education policy.

Erchana Murray-Bartlett, Independent candidate for McPherson.

We need climate action that strengthens our economy, protects our communities and natural environment, and secures the Gold Coast’s future for the generations who will inherit this incredible place we call home.

As your independent, I’ll fight for strong climate action and real protection of our natural environment. I will be advocating for:

A 75% emissions reduction target by 2035

Redirecting fossil fuel subsidies to support local renewable energy industries that generate jobs in our communities.

Greater incentives to help more households and businesses to access solar and battery systems – which can slash energy bills, provide people with energy independence and provide reliable power through natural disasters while also cutting climate pollution.

Federal investment in climate resilient infrastructure and disaster preparedness – we must protect our communities from worsening climate impacts, contain rising home insurance costs, and protect the Gold Coast’s tourism industry

Getting serious about nature protection – by fixing our broken environmental laws.

Stronger protections to save our precious koalas and other at-risk wildlife.

Brandan Holt, Greens candidate for Oxley.

YES to all 3 questions.              

As a biotechnologist, I believe that our response to climate change needs to be informed by peer reviewed science, and experts in the relevant fields. I believe climate change is a major challenge that needs to be communicated about appropriately, and addressed immediately; it is multifaceted, it affects our weather, environment and ecosystems through numerous variables. We need to protect our environment, people and homes through policy and education on climate change and climate action. If elected, I will work with experts to develop climate change education policies (with, but not limited to scientists, policy experts and experts in pedagogy). It is evident we need to educate people on what climate change is, offer them education and understanding on how humans have changed Earth’s systems (both biotic and abiotic), as well as allowing for education on how we can regenerate and sustain integrity of ecosystems and biodiversity. It is my perception that the education will need to occur in a way which respects that people have different lived experiences and viewpoints when seeking solutions to climate change, and that climate change is a complex socio-ecological issue that needs immediate action while remembering that people react differently to different educational stimuli.

I would suggest the school program include an introduction to critical thinking and some exposure to the history of science and/or scientific method would be great. Finally, we would need to consider relevant maths and physics.

Regarding the actual question: with the above topics covered, maybe then you could create a sequence of mini investigations that led to students fitting curves to data points (i.e. some basics of modelling). There are not-too-fat textbooks on climate modelling – maybe some of that next.

Rhonda Garad, Greens candidate for Bruce.

YES to all 3 questions.

As a MP, I would strongly advocate for the implementation of climate change education as a core component of our national curriculum, ensuring every student is equipped with a deep understanding of climate change. To practically support this initiative, I would work towards securing funding for professional development programs that train teachers to effectively deliver climate change education. This would ensure educators are not only well-informed but also confident in addressing the complexities of climate science and its social and economic impacts.

Additionally, I would champion the creation of curriculum resources that are engaging, accurate, and accessible to students of all ages. This would include interactive materials, case studies, and real-world examples that highlight the urgency of climate action.

I would also support partnerships between schools, universities, and environmental organizations to facilitate hands-on learning experiences. In addition, I would fight for career paths that utilise this knowledge, plus award programs and scholarships to enable uptake.

Finally, I would work to integrate climate change education across all subjects, from science to economics, ensuring it becomes a key focus in shaping the values and priorities of the next generation.

Sarah Race, Labor candidate for Flinders.

YES to all 3 questions.

Thank you for inviting me to complete the report card as part of your work on a Climate Change Education Strategy. As a former councillor of the Mornington Peninsula Shire I was a strong advocate for the Shire’s 10 year Climate Emergency Plan and the commitment made by the Shire to work with the community to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040.

A key component of that Plan was building a resilient and adaptive community and involved the Council mobilising and strengthening community action, raising community awareness and fostering behaviour change.

One example of action taken was to establish a community group, Repower Mornington Peninsula, to help households and businesses to get off fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy through education and assistance with electrification.

Of particular interest to me was how the Peninsula will deal with and adapt to the impact of future sea-level rise on our coastline. I led local government advocacy on this issue with State and Federal governments. In my view more focus is needed on the adaptation challenge and educating the community about what to expect, not just from sea-level rise but more broadly and it will be something I will pursue if elected at the upcoming federal election.

YES to all 3 questions.

I would create a framework that ensures students and the wider community gain a solid understanding of climate science, the impacts of climate change, and the actions needed to address it. Climate Change Education Policy would involve integrating comprehensive climate change education into all levels of the education system, promoting environmental literacy, critical thinking, and sustainable action among students and educators, in K–12 public and private schools, higher education institutions, Teacher training programs and informal and adult education platforms

The goals would be to increase awareness and understanding of climate science and its societal impacts. To equip students with the skills to address climate challenges, and to promote interdisciplinary, solution-oriented learning, and encourage community engagement and sustainable practices.

Evaluation & Accountability

•               Annual assessments of climate education outcomes.

•               Feedback mechanisms for students and educators.

•               Regular updates to the curriculum based on latest climate science.

This has to stop. Woodside and Santos have no place in our schools. The Greens will support efforts to establish climate change education policy. We also have a plan to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships to remove their influence from our schools and communities, and fully fund public schools so they don’t have to depend on free resources designed by fossil fuel funded organisations. To ensure everyone has access to the information and support they need for a clean energy transition, the Greens will allocate $80m to fund national marketing and education campaigns around electrification, and ban misleading environmental and climate claims by businesses and government.

I think it’s most important that we educate school students on the scientific process and method; essentially, ‘how’ we do science. Students can then apply this method to various topics as part of the school curriculum, including climate change science and research.

The knowledge of the scientific method will serve them well throughout their lives, giving them the tools to navigate an increasingly online world with information of varying quality coming from myriad sources.
