80% of scientific articles are written only in English, despite the fact that 75% of the world doesn’t speak this language. In addition, the UN IPCC report, the most comprehensive climate summary, is only available in 6 languages. People who are disproportionately affected by climate change deserve to have access to the resources they need to make sense of the disasters and what they can do about them. The more people are informed about the climate crisis, the greater chance we have of working together to protect the future of this planet. Therefore I propose the development of climate-based education programs, to allow individuals across the US and soon the world to receive equitable access to critical climate information. As the Director of Research at Climate Cardinals (the largest international climate education youth-led nonprofit), I’ve witnessed the impact of information across rural communities in the US leading to sustainable food and healthy lives for all. Today we’ve grown to 13,000 volunteers in 82 countries and collectively, have translated over 1.5 million words of environmental information into more than 105 languages. By further implementing climate education programs we can address this language barrier and ensure effective climate action.
