What is TRACE?

The climate crisis is one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. It requires holistic  climate actions on individual and collective, as well as everyday and strategic levels. However, many current approaches to climate education emphasize scientific facts and personal behaviour, often overlooking the importance of combining them with possibilities of public sphere actions and civic engagement.

With TRACE, we address this gap so that students develop the capacity to meaningfully reflect, learn and act in context of the climate crisis. This includes understanding the science, being motivated to act, and having the skills to deal with common constraints and barriers to contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation.

We build TRACE around five core components: (1) Understanding climate agency, (2) designing a self-reflection tool, (3) working and networking with teachers, (4) implementing and evaluating a student lab, and (5) creating Open Educational Resources.
