Dr. Miguel Cardona was installed as the 12th U.S. Secretary of Education on March 2, 2021 replacing Betsy DeVos who served in the same role for four years prior. Nominated to serve by Joseph R. Biden (the newly elected 46th President of the United States), Dr. Cardona has extensive experience in all facets of public education in the United States.
America’s public schools have substantial environmental footprints. Schools use large amounts of energy, land, transportation, and food. Our public schools have an incredible opportunity to be centers of resiliency for students and families and to provide a more sustainable future.
Investments in schools can accelerate the transition to a clean economy, empower youth to access green jobs and build long-lasting change to advance a more sustainable, resilient and equitable society. Educators are unleashing the creativity of our students and giving them the skills to solve the climate crisis that provide pathways to good union jobs.
The AFT’s Share My Lesson has compiled an amazing collection of lesson plans and resources for educators addressing climate change.
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass bold legislation that will create millions of good union jobs for a green economy that helps save our planet. We are amplifying our voices and taking action together.
AFT members’ pension funds have an estimated $114 billion invested in fossil fuels. Fossil fuels don’t just harm the environment—they create risk in our pension investments. We can take action to make our pensions more sustainable and ensure that our retirement savings are being invested in ways that help address climate change.
