The stories are used as exemplars, from exploring space debris to urban design planning to fast fashion and provide entry points for investigating particular aspects of climate science, including the local and global impacts of a warming planet. Each chapter provides analysis and strategies for fostering climate (and space) literacy through knowledge, empathy, and agency. The contributors encourage educators to answer students’ calls for comprehensive K–12 climate education by aligning pedagogy with real-world challenges to prepare students who understand the myriad injustices of the climate crisis and feel empowered to confront them. Contributors from around the world share their own stories and urge educators to join the growing, hopeful movement for action, classroom by classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Reading the Youth Climate Movement: Social Media, Literary Creation, and Allyship \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexandra Lakind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: “But, What Difference Can I Make?”: Using Documentaries to Explore Environmental Advocacy in the Face of Climate Change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarley Peterson Durden and Jared Durden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Educating Space-Age Environmentalists at the Elementary Level\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeverly B.
