An Act implementing elementary and secondary interdisciplinary climate literacy education

This bill creates a dedicated "Interdisciplinary Climate Literacy Trust Fund" to support climate education in Massachusetts public schools. The fund, financed by state appropriations, grants, and interest, will pay for curriculum development, teacher training, and technical support for K-12 schools. It requires school districts to create climate literacy plans - including lessons on human impacts on climate, environmental justice, and climate policy - that prioritize underserved communities and include youth input. The fund must be used without annual re-appropriation, with annual public reports detailing spending and district participation. The bill directly affects all public K-12 school districts in Massachusetts, with specific focus on schools serving economically disadvantaged students or environmental justice communities.
