This time we look at climate and science. It can be said it is not really school related, but think again: we need to start early on this crucial topic.

Climate change is now an existential crisis. However, we as humans have managed for many years to overcome even the most horrific conditions, so we can do it.

It does not come by being passive. It comes with action and knowledge. And that is where we want to do our bit in this debate.

We have a great example of ‘climate change’ – the Little Ice age’ which was not a major event after all. But the consequences impacted everything we know.

We need to ask ourselves: how much attention do we afford this crisis? Is it something we need to teach in schools? It is a good question to ask and there are no easy answers, but we can speculate.

We have plenty of reports outlining the consequences if we do nothing, but it is still hard to find the solutions with the biggest ‘pay back’.

The bigger challenge is for all of us to work together, regardless of where we are coming from.
