This think piece describes a way of including climate change within education for sustainable development ESD), with a specific ambition to illuminate the moral dimension in a locally relevant way in the teaching. A method – ethical tendency discourse analysis – for creating a locally relevant teaching content that illuminates the moral dimension of climate change is described. This method has the potential to also, through an international collaboration, incorporate the global dimension in the teaching content.
