Oregon's House Bill 3365, if enacted, would require the state's academic content standards to "include an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability and climate change across all subjects for which academic content standards are established."
Such standards would be designed to "increase understanding about the scientific causes of and the ways to prepare for and reduce the effects of climate change" as well as to provide opportunities to study specific issues involving climate change in various ways.
The bill was drafted by Oregon Educators for Climate Education "with input and revisions over two years from diverse stakeholders state-wide" and endorsed by the Oregon Education Association, according to a flyer (PDF) from OECE.
The bill was Introduced by Lisa Fragala (D-District 8) and Sarah Finger McDonald (D-District 16) on January 28, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Education and then to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means.
