   7. *Resources for teaching the Sociology of Climate Change*

As we are all now increasingly aware – every day brings new evidence – 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 for just 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 Am Sociological Assoc’s Environmental Sociology Section have
created a climate teaching resource web page,
