Building Climate Literacy for Action
Building Climate Literacy for Action
Session ID#: 283070
Session Description:
To meet the challenges of climate change, societies need better ways to develop agency and enact system-scale change at scale. Building climate literacy - the knowledge of how the climate system works, how human actions influence climate, and how climate influences people and other parts of the Earth system - is a key approach. Climate literate people recognize and find credible information about climate change, communicate in accurate and effective ways, and make informed decisions related to climate change.
This session invites presentations on approaches to increasing and evaluating climate literacy at all scales and across all communities. We encourage submissions focused on all groups of learners, in all locations, and through all methods: K-12, university, and career and technical education; public communication; informal education; workforce development and training; and adult education. Submissions on public perception of climate, surveys of climate knowledge, and other measurements of climate literacy are welcome.
