How do educators prepare the next generation of adults and leaders in an era of radical climate disruption, ecological tipping points, economic volatility, and social and political inequity? In other words, should there be a new type of education for a dystopian future? Although the world has never been a stable, serene place, the changes to the Earth globally and the social disruptions happening in this second decade of the twenty-first century are unprecedented and alarming. The present epoch has been called the Anthropocene, a time of human domination of the Earth. This new epoch requires educators to completely rethink the purpose and goals of education, especially in terms of preparing young people for a viable and hopeful future.
