According to the Rhode Island Climate Change Strategy, many cities will face significant flooding by 2050, making it critical to educate the youngest generations about environmental stewardship and climate resilience. The need for targeted educational programs on climate issues has never been more pressing.

Who Qualifies for Funding in Rhode Island

This funding opportunity is primarily available to K-12 schools across Rhode Island looking to establish climate change education initiatives. Schools that serve diverse populations and are located in coastal areas face a unique obligation to address these pressing topics so that students understand their environment and potential future challenges.

Application Criteria

Eligible applicants must provide a comprehensive outline of their proposed education programs, including hands-on learning experiences and partnerships with local environmental organizations. Schools should demonstrate how their projects will engage students not just in learning about climate change but in actively participating in solutions, such as restoration projects or sustainability initiatives.

Why Climate Change Education is Critical in Rhode Island

Empowering students with knowledge about climate change can cultivate a generation that is more prepared to tackle future environmental challenges.
