Climate & Urban Systems Partnership (CUSP): A multidisciplinary network developing strategies for informal climate change learning
Abstract:
CUSP aims to inform and engage city residents about the impacts of and responses to climate change in their city. Informal educators, climate scientists, learning scientists, and local community organizations formed the partnership in 2012 in order to develop resources, share best practices, and leverage impact. The CUSP network is currently active in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, and Washington, DC. CUSP resources are developed based on the latest educational research on informal learning of climate change, which will be outlined in this presentation.
