Abstract

The chapter foregrounds the important role of teaching and learning in the age of climate change. The author shows that education for sustainable development needs to promote communication practices that not only emphasize transition and betweenness, but that transcend current definitions of disciplines to create sustainable solutions to existing problems. Such writing and communication practices are necessary to contribute to 21st century solutions to such monumental issues as increased migration due to conflict, persecution, and natural disasters; food insecurity across the globe; the erasure of economic, social, cultural, gender, civil, and political rights; and pandemics that know no borders. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of encouraging students to practice transdisciplinary writing and communication skills to ensure that they can participate successfully in a world where disciplinary boundaries often hinder new and innovative approaches to finding solutions to the pressing issues raised by the current climate emergency.
