support climate change education and awareness for students
Support climate change education and awareness for students.
Occurrences
Evidence
Markey and co-sponsors introduced the bicameral Climate Change Education Act, which would establish a Climate Change Education Program within NOAA to provide grants and technical assistance to education agencies and related organizations; the release says the legislation would help ensure graduating students are trained to live, work, and lead in a world impacted by climate change.
Markey's legislation page lists a sponsored bill to require NOAA to establish a Climate Change Education Program, dated 04/22/2026.
Assessments
Markey materially supported the promise by introducing the Climate Change Education Act in April 2026, which would create a NOAA climate change education program with grants and technical assistance for education agencies and related organizations. However, available status information shows the bill was introduced and referred, not enacted or otherwise implemented. Because the promised outcome was support for climate change education and awareness for students, the legislative attempt is serious but the policy has not been delivered.
