Abstract
As a provider of primary science CPD and lecturer in primary science Initial Teacher Education (ITE), I consider how a primary science curriculum can provide an opportunity to embed climate change and sustainability education. Using a global learning approach and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this article suggests that science education is central to the preparation and empowerment of young people to help reduce climate change and manage its consequences. Based upon my experience working with primary schools and my research in this area, I offer an approach to incorporating education on climate change and sustainability.
