Climate change & ocean education

Why do you think that many schools and national curriculums do not cover climate change, environmental and ocean education?

This is our future we are talking about and it could be a great way for teachers to relate the content to a local context to help students grasp the ideas easily.

Some underlying root causes I see in my own country are: the lack of textbooks that cover these topics on the list of books allowed for the government, outdated info in textbooks, lack of public interest, lack of parent interest in their children participating, and difficulties for teachers to find resources in native language.

What other root causes can you think of? What great examples have you seen in the past where these topics were covered?
