CLEAN's Social Network Analysis by Katie Boyd

Abstract: Here we present results from a CLEAN community survey and social network analysis of the community structure (n=174). We surveyed the CLEAN network about their interactions with other climate and energy literacy stakeholders on1) climate and energy education; 2) climate action, climate empowerment, or community engagement; 3) workforce development in the climate & energy field; 4) diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism; and 5) climate or energy policy. The resulting network maps show a strong network for climate change education and less developed networks for the other areas. It also shows that the CLEAN Network is an important bridge for information sharing across the climate and energy education field. This study provides the basis for developing strategies to strengthen the network, strategically connect isolated members, and continue growing the strength of the network.
