India has made environmental education compulsory till graduate level across all streams of education. But the issue of global climate change, that has a scientific basis to it and several issues related to it, require technical understanding. Conveying complex issues on the subject and demystifying them for students of the secondary and higher secondary school level requires training of educators, especially on the communication component. Realising this compelling need, the CMS Environment presents an opportunity to impart knowledge and build skills of available teachers so that they do justice to this challenge.
