Today's children and young adults care more about climate change than most issues, as temperatures have reached record highs and the number of weather-related disasters continues to rise. However, research suggests that the learning materials that current students consume in school, in some cases they silenced Climate change coverage. Students told USA TODAY that treatment of the issue has remained limited in schools, even as their demands for such education have grown. “Everything I learned about climate change was self-taught,” said Amara Ifeji, 21, now a senior at Northeastern University in Boston and an environmental justice advocate. Her low-income high school in Maine did not require students to learn about climate change in its specific STEM curriculum, let alone teach students about the disproportionate impact on people of color.
