Climate Change Education Act
This bill establishes a Climate Change Education Program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase public understanding of climate change and its solutions. It authorizes funding to provide grants to schools, universities, and community organizations for developing curricula, training teachers, and supporting student-led climate projects. The legislation requires that 40 percent of certain grant funds be directed toward environmental justice communities and mandates annual reporting to Congress on the program's effectiveness. Funding is authorized at $50 million per year from 2027 through 2032 to support these educational initiatives.
