Regenerative Climate Justice Pedagogies:
Relational Teaching at the Edge of a New World
By Maria Vamvalis
How can education become a force for renewal in a time of planetary crisis?
What if schools were sites of regeneration – places where students deepen their understanding of systemic injustice, strengthen their capacity for critical inquiry, and cultivate the holistic dispositions needed to co-create more just and livable futures?
Regenerative Climate Justice Pedagogies is a blueprint for teaching at the intersection of climate justice, democratic learning, and collective well-being. Drawing on Maria Vamvalis’ award-winning doctoral research and two decades of frontline practice, this book equips educators and leaders to meet the climate crisis with approaches that are relational, systemic, and transformative.
At its core are six guiding principles that reimagine education:
as a space for structural analysis and ethical action
as a practice of interdependence and compassion
as a catalyst for youth agency, planetary responsibility, and civic renewal
More than theory, this book offers concrete seeds for curriculum innovation, professional learning, and systemic change. It responds to urgent demands to:
address the root causes of climate injustice
support the mental health and resilience of students and educators
align education with the realities of a rapidly changing world
Both visionary and practical, Regenerative Climate Justice Pedagogies is designed as a companion for those determined to nurture learning ecosystems that heal, inspire, and regenerate in deeply troubling times.
Estimated release date 2026
Published through the Critical Thinking Consortium, this book is for educators and leaders ready to make classrooms places of collective possibility where new worlds can be imagined into being.
