Abstract	New Zealand Council for Educational Research's (NZCER's) research project "Educational policy and practice for a changing climate" explores what kinds of changes or adaptations the education systems may need to make in the immediate and short-to-medium-term future in response to climate change. This report outlines findings from one component of the project: in-depth interviews with 17 individuals with a range of viewpoints on climate change and education in Aotearoa New Zealand. Everyone interviewed shared at least one thing in common--they were all concerned about climate change and its impacts for Aotearoa New Zealand, and believed it was important for the education system to be responsive. The perspectives and practice examples shared in this report suggest there is scope for growth and development in the way that schools and wider education systems in Aotearoa New Zealand engage with, and respond, to climate change. The practice stories shared by key informants suggest that localised innovation and change is possible, particularly when young people and communities are mobilised, engaged, and informed about the causes and consequences of climate change, and what they can do to make a difference. However, wider system structures, norms, and mindsets play a role in enabling or limiting the extent to which young people and communities can engage effectively with climate change.
