Climate Change Education: Goals, Audiences, and Strategies:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forrest, Sherrie / Feder, Michael A., PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, The ong>globalong> scientific ong>anong>d policy ong>communityong> now unequivocally accepts that humong>anong> activities cause ong>globalong> climate chong>anong>ge. Although information on climate chong>anong>ge is readily available, the nation still seems unprepared or unwilling to respond effectively to climate chong>anong>ge, due partly to a general lack of public understong>anong>ding of climate chong>anong>ge issues ong>anong>d opportunities for effective responses. The reality of ong>globalong> climate chong>anong>ge lends increasing urgency to the need for effective education on earth system science, as well as on the humong>anong> ong>anong>d behavioral dimensions of climate chong>anong>ge, from broad societal action to smart energy choices at the household level. The public's limited understong>anong>ding of climate chong>anong>ge is partly the result of four critical challenges that have slowed development ong>anong>d delivery of effective climate chong>anong>ge education. As one response to these challenges, Congress, in its ong>anong>d appropriation process, requested that the National Science Foundation (NSF) create a program in climate chong>anong>ge education to provide funding to external grong>anong>tees to improve climate chong>anong>ge education in the United States. To support ong>anong>d strengthen these education initiatives, the Board on Science Education of the National Research Council (NRC) created the Climate Chong>anong>ge Education Roundtable. The Roundtable convened two workshops. Climate Chong>anong>ge Education Goals, Audiences, ong>anong>d Strategies is a summary of the discussions ong>anong>d presentations from the first workshop, held October 21 ong>anong>d . This report focuses on two primary topics: public understong>anong>ding ong>anong>d decision maker support. It should be viewed as ong>anong> initial step in examining the research on climate chong>anong>ge ong>anong>d applying it in specific policy circumstong>anong>ces.
