This guide to transformative skills for climate action expands climate literacy to encompass those inner skills, qualities and capacities that help translate scientific understanding into transformative shifts in the way we do things, individually and collectively. The hope is that this guide will help educators, communicators and practitioners equip the whole of society with these essential resources.

  • This guide started as a piece of the 2024 Climate Literacy Guide but was split into a separate document in order to expand the writing team beyond the U.S. federal government.

    It was published by the Transformative Skills Collaborative in 2025, with all authors participating in their personal capacity.
