3-2-1: Need to Teach on a Global Hot Topic #ClimateChange #science #ShowYourStripes

New survey info shared today (with me) via the [**National Center for Science Education, Inc. email**](https://ncse.ngo/people-around-world-want-more-climate-change-education-schools):

> “Eight in ten (80 percent) of people globally called on schools in their country to teach more about climate change, while just 6 percent of people globally said schools should teach less about climate change,” [**according (PDF, p. 14) to a new survey from the United Nations Development Programme**](https://peoplesclimate.vote/document/Peoples_Climate_Vote_Report_2024.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=cc-ncse&utm_campaign=0621_monitor_2024&utm_content=undp-poll).

That’s pretty important since it’s getting hot everywhere. [**Use the University of Reading’s #ShowYourStripes tool**](https://showyourstripes.info/) to see changes over time:

## 3-2-1 on Climate Change Survey Data

2. Americans are less keen on climate lessons than others.
3. Poor countries want climate teaching most.

### Two quotes:
1. “Eight in ten people globally called on schools to teach more about climate change.”
2. “The proportion of those who wanted more climate education was higher in least developed countries.”

### One question:
* Why do rich countries care less about climate education?
