It discusses why these topics matter, referencing evidence about pupils’ prior exposure to climate change education. The session links sustainability themes to key stage 4 programme of study content, covering ecosystems and biodiversity, human impacts, chemical and allied industries via life cycle assessment and recycling, earth and atmospheric evidence and uncertainties, and energy from renewable and non-renewable
