How to Save the Planet: Teaching the Climate Emergency in Primary Schools



October 2026 | 184 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

This is the comprehensive guide for primary teachers looking to deepen their knowledge about climate change and how to effectively use this in teaching across the primary curriculum.

Bursting with accessible information about the climate crisis and the actions we can take to live more sustainably, this book sets out how primary teachers can engage with this urgent issue in ways that are professionally appropriate and curriculum-aware.

  • Themed chapters offer a deep dive into very teachable topics such as food, nature, waste and energy.
