Climate change is set to be assessed for the first time in PISA - is your classroom ready? Starting in 2029, PISA will assess climate literacy alongside reading, mathematics and science. This is a major shift for education systems worldwide, making it essential for schools and teachers to prepare early. This session will introduce the framework behind the PISA 2029 climate literacy assessment, results from pilot tests and practical materials designed to support classroom learning.
The OECD and its partners will present a new digital platform with learning and formative assessment resources built around real-world climate phenomena, connecting students' lived experiences with scientific explanations and evidence-based inquiry.
The session will explore how teachers can use these interactive resources to support progression towards the key competencies assessed in PISA: understanding human-induced climate change, applying evidence-based reasoning, evaluating perspectives and exercising agency for climate futures.
