The world is facing two urgent crises. The first is the climate change crisis, a result of hundreds of years of problematic use of the planet's natural resources. The second, this article argues, is a crisis in public education, which is the result of an ‘exactly parallel’ misunderstanding and mismanagement of human resources. This article proposes that these crises need to be tackled together, and considers the emergence of digital cultures as presenting both significant challenges and opportunities.
