The Adaptation Bridge

The climate crisis, K-12 public education, and community schools

The climate crisis is here. Rising temperatures and increasingly severe weather events are increasing in frequency and magnitude.

Public education is essential to effective adaptation. Schools need to maximize their connection with local communities.

The Adaptation Bridge is a path to that vision. It frames the climate crisis, as inevitable and disruptive as it is, as an opportunity to connect K–12 public schools with integrated services and community.
