The Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN)

Abstract

It is important that we prepare tomorrow's scientists, decision makers, and communities to address the societal and ecological impacts of a changing climate. In order to respond to, mitigate, and adapt to those changes, community members of all ages need accurate, up-to-date information, knowledge of the sciences, and analytical skills to make responsible decisions and long-term climate resiliency plans regarding these challenging topics. The Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN, http://cleanet.org) is 1) providing teaching resources for educators through the CLEAN Collection and pedagogical support for teaching climate and energy science and solutions; and 2) facilitating a professionally diverse community of climate and energy
