To enhance and build on NSF-funded efforts already underway in the informal science education community, this proposal requests funding to: (1) bring together educators working in informal science environments for a two-day professional development conference that will focus exclusively on climate literacy in all of its dimensions, and (2) provide opportunities for informal science educators to interact on the topic of climate change with scientists and science media who will be participating in the AAAS annual meeting that immediately follows. This Climate Literacy professional development conference will take place on February 17-18, 2010 in San Diego.AAAS will organize the conference in partnership with the Birch Aquarium, the public exploration center for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In addition to presentations on all aspects of climate literacy and what it entails for educators and for the public, this professional development conference will also provide a variety of hands-on opportunities for participants to apply their new knowledge and skills to their own programs and projects. An expert advisory group will guide the development of the conference program and the selection of speakers and participants, focusing especially on including and serving the needs of informal science educators from institutions of varying sizes and types and serving diverse public audiences.

为了加强和建立在非正式科学教育界已经在进行的NSF资助的努力，该提案要求提供资金：（1）召集在非正式科学环境中工作的教育工作者，举行为期两天的专业发展会议，专门讨论气候扫盲的各个方面，以及（2）为非正式的科学教育工作者提供机会，与即将参加美国科学促进会年会的科学家和科学媒体就气候变化问题进行互动，如下这次气候素养专业发展会议将于2010年2月17日至18日在圣地亚哥举行。AAAS将与伯奇水族馆合作组织这次会议，伯奇水族馆是斯克里普斯海洋学研究所的公共探索中心。除了介绍气候素养的各个方面以及它对教育工作者和公众的影响外，这次专业发展会议还将为参与者提供各种实践机会，将他们的新知识和技能应用到自己的计划和项目中。一个专家咨询小组将指导会议方案的制定以及演讲者和与会者的选择，特别侧重于纳入和满足来自不同规模和类型的机构的非正式科学教育工作者的需求，并为不同的公众受众提供服务。
