Accelerating Change-Making: Reflections on Embedding Regenerative Practices in School Climate Action

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter explores how three schools in Canada are accelerating climate action through a whole school approach, facilitated by the Climate Action Accelerator Program (CAAP). Teachers and administrators from three different schools and at different stages (early, intermediate, and advanced) of whole school sustainability, engaged in critical reflection on their schools’ journeys, shared through three vignettes. The vignettes are followed by a discussion of shared approaches across the schools that we noted as important—including regenerative practice as a paradigm shift—for moving schools along climate action pathways and whole school journeys as well as shared challenges and emerging opportunities.
