3-2-1: Need to Teach on a Global Hot Topic #ClimateChange #science #ShowYourStripes

New survey info shared today (with me) via the [**National Center for Science Education, Inc. email**](https://ncse.ngo/people-around-world-want-more-climate-change-education-schools): > “Eight in ten (80 percent) of people globally called on schools in their country to teach more about climate change, while just 6 percent of people globally said schools should teach less about climate change,” [**according (PDF, p. 14) to a new survey from the United Nations Development Programme**](https://peoplesclimate.vote/document/Peoples\_Climate\_Vote\_Report\_2024.pdf?utm\_medium=email&utm\_source=cc-ncse&utm\_campaign=0621\_monitor\_2024&utm\_content=undp-poll). That’s pretty important since it’s getting hot everywhere.
