Climate Change Education Act

This bill would require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to set up a Climate Change Education Program within one year. The program would give grants or cooperative agreements to state and local school agencies, colleges and universities, professional associations, and youth corps groups for climate education, teacher training, curriculum work, and community climate projects. Half of the grant money would go to school agencies, and 40 percent of money for college and youth corps grants would go to environmental justice communities. NOAA would report to Congress each year, and the bill would authorize $50 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.
