Te Tai Unuora: A climate change wellbeing guide. Companion to Huringa āhuarangi: Whakareri mai kia haumaru āpōpō I Climate change: Prepare today, live well tomorrow.
Te Tai Unuora, this climate change wellbeing guide, is a companion to Huringa āhuarangi: Whakareri mai kia haumaru āpōpō I Climate change: Prepare today, live well tomorrow, a learning programme for years seven and eight ākonga. It aims to support you and ākonga as they learn about climate change. Teachers/kaiako and ākonga will have wide-ranging reactions to the subject, with some experiencing strong emotions.
The guide’s format and content has been informed by in-depth consultation with a diverse group of children and young people: rangatahi Māori, Pacific young people, and high school climate activists.
From our discussions, a range of recommendations led to the foregrounding of te ao Māori and Pacific perspectives. We are deeply grateful for the kōrero that was shared with us.
