The Teacher’s Climate Change Forum brings together educators and researchers dedicated to climate science and sustainability in education. The forum includes workshops, interactive sessions, keynote lectures, and research presentations. We see the forum as a place to exchange knowledge and co-develop competencies for climate change education. The idea is to integrate climate science with educational research and pedagogical practice.
TCCF has been held at the Hyytiälä Forest Station in Finland in 2017, 2019, 2024, and 2025. In addition to on-site participation, the conference is organized in a hybrid format, enabling distance participation. During the years 2020–2022, the forum was held fully online.

Before the Teachers' Climate Change -Forum we recommend you to orientate towards climate change education with Climate.now -MOOC. It is a course on the basics of climate system, its change and effects of the change, how to mitigate and adapt to changing climate. In addition to providing the basic knowledge, another equally important goal is to reinforce the student’s understanding of climate change as a deep human and societal challenge and to give everyone the means to participate in resolving it.
