New York A01984 mandates climate change and sustainability education in elementary and high schools.

New York A01984 requires the education commissioner to create a comprehensive climate change and sustainability curriculum for grades K-12 in all public and charter schools. The curriculum must cover how human activities cause climate change, its effects, associated dangers, and preventative measures. The chancellor of the New York City school system or a board of education may adopt their own curriculum, provided it meets the commissioner's standards. Schools must begin teaching the curriculum in the first school year following its certification by the commissioner.
