Under Construction! EE Guidelines for Empowering Climate Change Action, with Anne Umali and Bora Simmons (NAAEE)
Abstract: NAAEE is in the early stages of developing a set of guidelines focusing on climate change education and climate justice as part of the Guidelines for Excellence series. We envision that this set of guidelines will provide recommendations for developing and implementing community-driven, climate education that is centered on climate justice and empowers climate action. We hope that when they are completed, these guidelines will serve a broad range of individuals and organizations interested in using education, in its different forms and in varying settings, as a tool for working with communities to find climate solutions. As with all the other sets of guidelines, these are being developed using a public participatory process involving opportunities to review and provide input. Come to this session, get a sneak peek at our progress, and provide your input!
