Climate Change Education Roundtable
|
The purpose of the Climate Change Education (CCE) Roundtable is to foster ongoing discussion of the challenges to and strategies for improving public understanding of climate science and climate change among federal agencies, the business community, non-profit, and academic sectors. The CCE Roundtable is poised to provide a critical mechanism for developing a coherent, national strategy to advance climate change education guided by the best available research evidence.
Through its meetings and workshops, the 24-month roundtable will bring together 30 federal and state policymakers, educators, communications and media experts, and members from the business and scientific community. The roundtable will include a number of ex officio members from federal agencies with dedicated interests in climate change education, including officials from the National Science Foundation’s EHR Directorate and its collaborating partner divisions, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Education.
The potential issues that will be addressed by the roundtable include:
• ways to incorporate knowledge about learning and understanding in developing informative programs and materials for decision-makers who must cope with climate change
• the design of educational programs for professionals such as local planners, water managers, and the like, to enable them to better understand the implications of climate change for their decisions
• development of training programs for scientists to help them become better communicators to decision-makers about implications of, and solutions to climate change
• coordinated and collaborative efforts at the national level between federal agencies and other stakeholders |
