Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion.
Mr. Yuming Lian:
Ms Doyle and I conducted a joint survey of younger students. Our schools implement a climate action course. When we quizzed the very specific group in the class, they indicated that outdoor action classes engaged them a lot more than indoor lessons. While indoor lessons are important, judging from the statistics, 94% of people would rather be out there and taking action because they would be reassured they are making a positive impact on the key issue.
