Tasmania, Australia’s island state, is powered entirely by renewable energy, thanks to its hydroelectric industry. Yet, tensions run deep between its proud green legacy—the birthplace of the world’s first Green political party—and ongoing political challenges as debates over conservation and development persist.
In this episode, we explore how Tasmania is leading the way in climate education through Curious Climate Schools, an initiative that puts young people’s voices at its centre. Founder Chloe Lucas reveals a troubling insight: many young people feel uncomfortable discussing climate change with adults, as they feel they're not being listened to. Curious Climate Schools bridges this gap by validating their worries, answering their pressing questions on climate action, and empowering them with knowledge.
From connecting students with climate experts to an immersive classroom game called The Heat is On, we delve into how this program is equipping the next generation to face a changing world.
Tune in to discover the power of listening to young voices and fostering action-based climate education.

We open the series by talking with the experts closest to us – The Climate Academy’s founder Matthew Pye and News Decoder’s Educational News Director Marcy Burstiner.
In a conversation on why we need to include systems understanding in school climate curricula and in the media coverage of the crisis, we touch on the myth of objectivity, why activating students’ knowledge through the tools of journalism is so powerful, and even the Civil Rights Movement. -

According to a study published in The Lancet, 84% of youth globally say they are at least moderately worried about climate change. 59% are very or extremely worried. The good news though is that having sufficient knowledge about climate change has shown to not only alleviate concern about climate change but also to drive young people’s willingness to act.
So what are we waiting for?
Only 53% of the world’s national education curricula make any reference to climate change, and 60% of teachers have said they don’t feel confident teaching about the severity of climate change, according to the UN. We’re here to change that.

We are all flooded with misinformation. But what can we do about it?
We turned to Henry Brechter, managing editor of the U.S. media company AllSides, to explore whether misinformation can be effectively curbed through government regulation, or whether such efforts would do irreparable damage to free speech. AllSides uses media bias ratings to provide balanced news across the U.S. political spectrum.
In our podcast, "Let's Talk About It," we explore the complex and oftentimes fraught relationship between the principle of free speech and the need to protect the public against misinformation that can foster political polarization.
We young people need to learn to navigate the media landscape and teach ourselves how to identify bias in the news. Our generation should aim to be as educated as possible so we can assess the accuracy of information and not rely on government regulation.
Here is our contribution to the campaign for media literacy. -

Hanna Rahman, a student at the Hewitt School in New York City, examines how COVID-19 hit hospitals in the city and what the pandemic shows about the U.S. healthcare system. In her interview with Dr. Graham Barr, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Rahman learns about long-standing, systemic inequities in the city's healthcare system and how certain racial groups from certain areas of the city suffered most from the pandemic. But there's hope to be drawn from the effective impact the lockdown and social distancing measures had on mitigating the pandemic.
