Eugene Cordero and the role of climate change education on individual lifetime carbon emissions
Abstract: Eugene will share outcomes from his paper (The role of climate change education on individual lifetime carbon emissions)that documents how high quality climate change education can be as effective in reducing carbon emissions as other solutions such as rooftop solar or electric vehicles. Eugene will discuss the methodology employed in the paper to connect educational activities with carbon emissions and recent efforts to expand this work. Eugene will also discuss characteristics of an effective educational experience and describe how his team has translated these research insights into an NGSS middle school science curriculum called Green Ninja.
