HRES 262 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting the teaching of climate change in schools.

HRES 262 is a non-binding House resolution supporting the integration of climate change education into K-12 school curricula across the U.S. It urges the Department of Education to collaborate with states and schools to develop science-based climate education standards, promote equitable access for all students, and address climate-induced mental health impacts on youth. The resolution encourages schools to adopt place-based, solution-oriented teaching methods and supports developing vocational programs for renewable energy careers. It does not mandate curriculum changes or allocate funding but calls for research on climate education's impact and collaboration with educators and scientists.
