Earth Science literacy

Earth Science literacy refers to the understanding of fundamental concepts about Earth systems, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental science. It emphasizes the interconnections between these systems and human activities. A literate individual recognizes how natural processes shape the planet, how climate change affects ecosystems and societies, and how human actions impact the Earth’s resources. This knowledge equips people to make informed decisions about sustainability, conservation, and policy, fostering a responsible relationship with our planet and its resources for future generations.
