In 2022, Connecticut became one of the first states to require Climate Change Studies as part of its science curriculum in public schools (grades 5- 12). In recognition of prioritizing climate education, the CT Coalition for Climate Action hosts an annual Climate Poster Competition. ​​

​

The 2025 Climate Poster Contest wrapped up on May 29th with a celebration at the state capitol. In first place was Shanaya Grover, age 11, from South Windsor, second place was Kendrick Hester, age 10 from East Hartford, and third place was Grayson Monette, age 11 from South Windsor. ​
