The initiative will provide teachers with training, resources and guidance to incorporate climate change topics into a range of subjects such as science, social studies, mathematics and English. It will also support student-led projects such as planting trees, composting food waste, conducting energy audits and organizing climate strikes.

The initiative has been welcomed by environmental groups, educators and students, who say climate change education is key to raising awareness and encouraging youth engagement. &quot;Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time, and we need to educate ourselves and others about it,&quot; said Maya Patel, a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School and member of the NYC Youth Climate Coalition. \u201cWe are the ones who will inherit this planet, and we have the power and the responsibility to do .
