Understanding a climate emergency in and through geography education: What can geography educators declare? A formal declaration about a climate and biodiversity emergency is imminent. The declaration provides important opportunities for collaboration between geographers in schools and universities; also, for exploring geography’s distinctive core through a ‘personal geographies’ educative lens. Connecting ways of knowing and doing in geography between school curriculum, teachers, students, researchers, and scholarship, will help to raise the visibility and integrity of geography as a subject in schools. So, ‘How can we do this?’. Some possibilities to declare about understanding a climate and biodiversity emergency through geography education emerge in findings from a recent doctoral study, and STEM Ambassador lived experience.
