We are practitioners and experts working towards a better world.
This site was set up with two goals in mind: to preserve U.S. federal climate literacy work, and to make the landscape of climate literacy and services clearer and more usable so anyone, anywhere can access the tools and information they need to take action.
The contributors to this website are academics, workforce development practitioners, scientists, communicators, educators, and community organizers with decades of experience in climate literacy, education, communication, and workforce development. Some are listed below, and some we thank for their anonymous contributions.
