Climate Change Resource Pack

Young people hear about climate change on a daily basis.

They know it’s an urgent issue that’s already having an impact on their lives, and will continue to affect our land, water, and air for years to come. That’s why DUC is bringing climate change resources to teachers and students. Our activities help students learn how wetlands play a role in fighting climate change, how to work through emotions associated with climate change, and how we can take action together.
