Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion.
Mr. Yuming Lian:
Climate action education should definitely be widespread. No matter whether one is a Senator or a cleaner or no matter what one is, I think one should be educated about the future. While I cannot really represent the views of the older generation, other than the teachers who we interviewed, we could take the school and imagine it as Dáil Éireann. It should be whole school based and no matter what subject or no matter what committee, it should always be there. No matter what someone learns, it will never be learned for nothing. It will always be useful.
