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.
