The climate crisis has been described as a “wicked problem” requiring attention not only to its scientific, but also to its social, historical, emotional, and geopolitical dimensions. This chapter introduces Critical Climate Cartography (CCC) as a pedagogical framework for exploring the climate crisis’s multi-layered nature at the K-12 level. CCC combines geospatial mapping technologies, critical perspectives on social inequality, and students’ everyday experiences to reveal relationships between built, natural, and social environments. It highlights and helps make the complexity of climate investigations manageable by organizing how different social and scientific phenomena are linked together at specific geographic points, and differently layered across broader regions and scales. We provide vignettes focused on student, teacher, and professional learning community experiences respectively that demonstrate CCC’s analytical power and challenges. The value of CCC lies in the transdisciplinary practices and tensions it fosters, which require further investigation through empirical research in classrooms and other educational contexts.
