In this article, the author analyzes environmental pedagogy in the Norwegian curriculafor environmental and sustainability education from 1997 to 2020. The author investi-gates how climate-striking youth evaluate the outgoing curricula through a survey inwhich 88 respondents participated. The survey reveals that young climate activists demanda more action-oriented education that emphasizes political change. The author discussesthe findings against the background of radical eco-pedagogy and the works of RichardKahn, Chet Bower, and David Orr and concludes that the youth striking against climatechange is practicing the curriculum they are asking for and that schools should welcomethe strikes.
