Grade 10 – 12 Climate Action Now course – Two Oceans Aquarium

The Climate Action Now programme from the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation is an engaging environmental education course designed to help students understand climate change through a strong ocean-focused lens. Aimed at high school learners, the programme explores key topics such as the science behind climate change, the role of oceans and greenhouse gases, and the environmental impacts we are already seeing, including rising sea levels and ecosystem disruption. It also looks at practical solutions, from renewable energy to sustainable living, all within a South African context.

For educators, Climate Action Now offers a powerful way to connect curriculum learning with real-world environmental challenges. The course is designed to build both knowledge and action, helping students develop critical thinking skills while exploring how individuals and communities can respond to climate change. A strong focus on concepts like the Just Transition also encourages learners to think about the social and economic impacts of environmental decisions. By using this programme, teachers can guide students beyond understanding climate change toward becoming informed, proactive contributors to a more sustainable future.
