![What Can We Do To Stop Climate Change: Resources for Educators](https://blog.drawdownga.org/hubfs/drawdown%20georgia%20science%20teacher.jpeg)

Are you an educator looking for resources to teach students about climate change in Georgia? Whether you are seeking ideas for curriculum, guest speakers, toolkits, or special programs, there is a wealth of free resources for teachers available to you from national environmental organizations, and from many groups local to Georgia, too.

## Teaching the Science Behind Climate Change and Climate Solutions

Whether you are interested in teaching students to measure their carbon footprint, explore the climate solutions already available to us, or take a closer look at the science behind climate change, we hope you find these resources helpful:

National Wildlife Federation  
The [National Wildlife Federation](http://www.nwf.org/) (NWF) has a wide variety of educational programs available for middle schoolers as well as youth of all ages.

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper  
[Chattahoochee Riverkeeper](http://www.chattahoochee.org/) offers teachers access to a free [virtual floating classroom](https://chattahoochee.org/our-work/floating-classroom/virtualfloatingclassroom/) series that is applicable for all ages as well as [in-person floating classroom](https://chattahoochee.org/our-work/floating-classroom/) events to get kids on the water and learning from nature.

Project Drawdown  
Project Drawdown--the inspiration for Drawdown Georgia--is a global nonprofit seeking to help the world reach drawdown, the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline. In 2019, Project Drawdown released a free series of online course units called [Climate Solutions 101](https://drawdown.org/climate-solutions-101), and while they were created with adult learners in mind, the classes are appropriate for many middle and high school students.

ACE - Action for the Climate Emergency  
[ACE](https://acespace.org/) has climate advocacy and civic engagement resources for students through their [Youth Action Network](https://acespace.org/youth-action-network/). The organization also provides options for teachers to join and collaborate at the bottom of [this page](https://acespace.org/education-and-storytelling/).

The Climate Reality Project - Atlanta Chapter  
The Atlanta Chapter of the Climate Reality Project makes free climate science presentations by guest lecturers available to the public.
