Three bills aimed at supporting climate change education in Massachusetts died in committee when the legislative session ended on July 31, 2026.
Senate Bill 391 and the identical House Bill 560 would, if enacted, have established the Interdisciplinary Climate Literacy Trust Fund, which would support interdisciplinary climate education in the state.
Senate Bill 410 would, if enacted, have promoted climate education by adding the phrase "climate science and climate solutions" to a list of topics that the state board of elementary and secondary education is allowed to include in the state's education standards.
All three bills passed the Joint Committee on Education in November 2025, as NCSE previously reported.
