Abstract
First paragraph: In a time of global pandemic, and climate and ecological emergencies, an editorial which seeks to reiterate the importance of biological education may seem redundant, especially one written by two geography educators. Nevertheless, although biology educators clearly articulate the detrimental impact of human life on planet Earth (Reiss Citation2022, Citation2020) and national and international attention continues to be paid to climate change and sustainability education (Department for Education Citation2022; European Commission Citation2022), we wish to underline the value and importance of biological education in the context of climate change and sustainability education in three ways.
