In the last couple of years, the Los Angeles Unified School District and California have committed to climate education for all students, but funding remains scarce.
Tired of waiting for politicians to step up with funding, some teachers are investing personal time to create climate lessons and raise funds for initiatives.
The 'Climate Champions' receive $900 a semester to help colleagues develop climate-centric lessons, but the responsibility adds to their workload and risks burnout.
Implementation of climate literacy policy in schools has been inconsistent, with little progress observed in the first year and limited training for teachers.
