Oregon's House Bill 3365, which seeks to support climate change education in the Beaver State, was enacted on June 26, 2025, when Governor Tina Kotek signed it into law.
The new law requires the state board of education to "include sufficient instruction on the causes and effects of climate change and strategies for mitigating, adapting to and strengthening community resilience to such causes and effects" in academic content standards during its regular review and revision of curriculum goals, performance indicators, and diploma requirements, with regard to "science, health, history, geography, economics and civics."
The bill was originally drafted by Oregon Educators for Climate Education and sponsored by Lisa Fragala (D-District 8) and Sarah Finger McDonald (D-District 16).
