Denver Public Schools Climate Action Plan 2023-2027
This podcast details the Denver Public Schools' (DPS) Climate Action Plan, a 5-year initiative driven by student activism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve natural resources. The plan is structured around two key areas: built environment and operations, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and electrification; and sustainability engagement, which emphasizes climate literacy, green workforce development, project-based learning, and outdoor education. Key initiatives include the Seal of Climate Literacy, student-led Climate Champions grants, the Lincoln microgrid project for energy resilience, and promoting sustainable food production through school gardens. The plan also integrates sustainability into various curricula, such as civics and English, and addresses the environmental impact of artificial intelligence, aiming to equip students with real-world problem-solving skills and prepare them for careers in sustainability.
