Schifter and Klein demonstrate how the effects of climate change intersect with US public schools on multiple levels--for example, schools must prepare students to face the challenges of an uncertain future, accommodate disruptions brought about by extreme weather conditions, and evaluate their systems' energy consumption and carbon emissions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through rousing case studies of climate efforts in schools across the United States, Schifter and Klein show what it means to center children and young people in climate solutions and illustrate how educators and institutions can take comprehensive action. They share step-by-step plans for applying the lessons of these situations to future action, rooting their frameworks in the climate action plan of the Aspen Institute's K12 Climate Action Commission and the Coherence Framework developed by the Public Education Leadership Project at Harvard University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The tools and key takeaways offered here can help raise climate literacy among students and also foster a climate collaboration mindset within districts, inspire community mobilization toward equity and sustainability, and enact policy change to shift society and mitigate the climate crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura A.
