Abstract:
Geographical education provides a unique space for supporting climate literacy and action. In this
paper we present a novel place-based online educational resource platform - Climate Smart – which
seeks to expand the capacity of young people to engage in one dimension of climate action,
adaptation planning. The Climate Smart platform comprises a set of six online workshops containing
videos and quizzes and ends with a serious game – iAdapt. We outline the drivers and process
behind the development of the platform, outlining the results of prototype testing and setting out
how the platform is evolving. Positive results have been revealed through evaluative analysis to date
and novel extensions of the platform are ongoing, although challenges remain regarding the longer-
term sustainability of the platform.
