With the government's promise at COP26 to have a model science curriculum including sustainability and climate change in place by 2023, we all have a duty to help children understand what we mean by the term 'climate change', how we have caused it to happen, and, most importantly, how we can contribute to the solution. As Emmanuel Macron put it, 'Let us face it, there is no Planet B.'
