Supporting SubjectToClimate: Expanding Climate Education for the Next Generation

At the Change Happens Foundation, we believe that meaningful progress on climate begins with knowledge, curiosity, and empowered young people. This year, we are proud to support SubjectToClimate, an organization that is transforming climate education for teachers and students across the country.

SubjectToClimate was built on a simple but powerful idea: every student deserves access to clear, engaging climate learning resources, and every educator deserves the tools to teach this subject with confidence. What began as a small collection of curated materials has grown into one of the most comprehensive climate education platforms available today.

Teachers often face limited time and limited support when trying to bring climate topics into the classroom. SubjectToClimate removes those barriers by offering free lesson plans, aligned curriculum materials, interactive activities, and real world data tools that make climate science approachable for learners of all ages. The platform bridges the gap between academic research and everyday teaching, allowing students to connect global concepts to the world right outside their doors.

What sets SubjectToClimate apart is the quality of its content and its commitment to accessibility. Educators can filter by grade level, subject, and teaching style, ensuring that every resource meets students where they are. The organization also works directly with teachers to refine materials, bringing classroom realities into the design process. This partnership between educators and experts results in curriculum that is both rigorous and practical.

Climate education is often framed as a future responsibility. SubjectToClimate reframes it as a present opportunity. By giving students the tools to understand our changing world, the organization helps them build resilience, agency, and a sense of possibility. Learning becomes a pathway to action, not anxiety.

We are honored to support SubjectToClimate’s mission as it continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact. Their work is helping a generation of students see themselves as capable problem solvers, innovative thinkers, and stewards of a healthier planet. It aligns directly with our foundation’s commitment to advancing environmental understanding and strengthening communities through knowledge.

Education plants the seeds for long term change. SubjectToClimate is ensuring those seeds take root.
