Abstract

In June 2024 we collaborated on a climate modelling workshop for around 200 of UCL’s pre-service (PGCE) secondary school teachers. This focused on the use of the En-ROADS climate simulator which was developed by MIT-Sloan, primarily for policy decision-makers. The initiative was part of broader efforts at UCL to integrate sustainability and climate education into teacher education. In this article we reflect on this collaboration:
