Missouri

Missouri currently has an independent framework in place as a method to teach climate change to students. This however does not mandate the teaching of climate change in any capacity, and it is evidently not a priority. If Missouri hopes to make any progress in the realm, it’s necessary to implement legislation that requires the teaching of climate change

Climate Issues

  • Increased precipitation and flooding
  • Changing composition of flora in forests
  • Extreme heat

EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

The Missouri Environmental Education Association (MEEA) provides resources and information on climate change and how to effectively communicate this info to students
