Teacher's guide on climate change and energy This teacher's manual on climate provides latest information on the science, impacts and mitigation steps of climate change in an easy to understand fashion.

WWF-India, the country's largest and oldest conservation organization, recognizes the urgency of addressing climate change. WWF-India has pioneered efforts towards documenting the various impacts of climate change in vulnerable habitats such as the Himalayan high altitude glaciers and the Sunderbans deltaic region. WWF-India has partnered with Tetra Pak in designing the Young Climate Savers programme, aimed at imparting education on climate change in 200 schools across 10 cities in India through teacher training workshops and mainstreaming climate issues in the academic curriculum. It is hoped that this project will have a lasting impact on students, and through them, the larger society, changing mindsets of producers and consumers alike. This teacher's manual on climate change is an essential step in this process. The manual provides latest information on the science, impacts and mitigation steps of climate change in an easy to understand fashion, and also lists activities that can be carried out in schools to create a better understanding of issues related to climate change amongst students.
