OERs Planet Pulse

Free, ready-to-use Open Educational Resources that turn climate worry into climate action.

Climate change is one of the biggest worries young people carry today, and one of the hardest things to know what to do with. The Planet Pulse toolkits are a free library of Open Educational Resources (OERs) built to help young people, and the people who teach and support them, move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling capable, connected, and ready to act.

Fifteen toolkits. One coherent journey. No cost, no catch.

Who these toolkits are for

Young people (roughly 16–25). Whether you're processing eco-anxiety, looking for hope, planning a green career, or wanting to start something in your own community, there's a toolkit here that meets you where you are. You can work through them on your own — every one ends with a short Reflect and act prompt, or use them with friends and peers.

Educators, youth workers, and facilitators. Each toolkit is classroom- and group-ready. Several include full facilitator notes, timed activities, discussion prompts, role-plays, and "lite" and "deep-dive" options so you can adapt to any group size, age, or energy level. No subject-matter expertise required, the prep is already done.

Anyone building a climate-aware community- schools, clubs, libraries, NGOs, and informal learning spaces all the way through.

Why use them?

These aren't doom-and-gloom resources. Every toolkit is designed to acknowledge difficult feelings honestly and then channel them into something constructive — a conversation, a small habit, a shared project.

 Pick a toolkit, open it, and go. The reading, watching, listening, and activities are already curated, structured, and explained — so you spend your time facilitating, not preparing.

The toolkits draw on the IPCC, UNESCO, the ILO, the European Commission, the Lancet, and leading climate voices and youth movements — alongside practical, human stories.
