Section on Environmental Sociology of the American Sociological Association
As we are all now increasingly, alarming aware, every day brings new evidence that the climate crisis is accelerating. Societal impacts are already serious and will only grow steadily worse in the next decades.
Climate change is no longer a topic just for environmental sociology courses. Students today are going to spend the rest of their lives in increasingly fraught circumstances and they are understandably anxious about that. Sociologists ought to be giving them the conceptual tools to understand what is about to happen to them.
It is likely, though, that many sociologists do not have the expertise, in climate science, climate impacts, climate politics, to easily add climate change content to their courses.
To help colleagues add Sociology of Climate Change to their classes, members of ASA’s Environmental Sociology Section have created a climate teaching resource web page,
