Overview
UndauntedK12 is a fiscally sponsored project of Cambiar Education. Based on the belief that there is transformational power in the K-12 education sector to positively impact climate change, UndauntedK12 works to support America's K-12 public schools to make an equitable transition to zero carbon emissions while preparing our youth to build a sustainable future in a rapidly changing climate. In addition to the need to address K-12’s significant building and transportation emissions, the sector is positioned to catalyze increased awareness, public support, workforce development, innovation, and, most critically, the shifts in mindset that form the foundation for any success we might envision. Moreover, the K-12 sector is central to addressing equity and enhancing community resilience. This grant will support UndauntedK12 as it undertakes works in three areas: (a) increasing funding to the K-12 sector to advance equitable decarbonization; (b) bringing a “whole of government” response to climate change to the U.S. Department of Education’s goals, personnel, and programs; and (c) supporting the activation of public school climate change-focused strategies.
