Students throughout California are concerned about the future. They want to learn about the climate crisis, and be part of the solution. Education leaders must answer this call with environmental literacy—an approach to engage students in understanding and protecting the natural world around them.

Since 2015, Green Schools National Network (GSNN) has featured stories of educators implementing sustainability best practices on our blog and in our peer-reviewed journal, Green Schools Catalyst Quarterly.

Trailblazers in Whole School Sustainability: Case Studies of Educators in Action is an edited collection of stories from schools and school districts across the country that highlights best practices and lessons learned in their pursuit of health, equity, and sustainability.
