We tell teachers to “stay calm” while asking them to prepare students for an uncertain future we barely talk about. 🎬 Today, we launch The Hardest Lesson: a short film about what really happens when climate reality meets the classroom: youtube.com/watch?v=4H-5qw…

Privileged to be on the panel at #TheHardestLesson event by @CMP_voice last night; fantastic speakers embracing truth & hope with courage. Surreal to have hero Caroline Lucas as host! ❤️ climatemajorityproject.com/new/climate-co… @MinistryEco @EcoSchools @UCL_CCCSE
