An award has been made to Columbia University to establish a Phase I Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) in collaboration with Teachers College, Barnard College, the University of New Hampshire, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the International Arctic Research Center, and the American Museum of Natural History. The overall goal of the CCEP Phase I project is to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts. This project will focus on developing a Polar Learning and Responding (POLAR) Climate Partnership. Through this award, the POLAR partnership will research novel educational approaches using cutting-edge polar science to engage adult learners in advancing their understanding of climate change, weighing scientific evidence, and stimulating meaningful individual and collective responses. The audience targeted by this project includes adult learners and educational practitioners: college students, pre- and in-service teachers, informal education practitioners, others who create educational resources, and lifelong learners in the general public. Stakeholders and end users are young adults, future scientists, citizens, managers, and decision-makers including those in remote areas such as the Arctic. The specific goal of the Phase I POLAR project is to establish a partnership that, based on a thorough search of existing polar climate science and learning and decision resources, develops the theoretical foundation for, and tests the initial designs of, novel formal and informal educational approaches. Focus will be on resources that help adult learners understand the mechanisms and impacts of climate change, and learn how to respond with sustainable solutions. The partnership will explore approaches that are based on scientific evidence, effective, easy to disseminate, informative, fun, and easy to use in classrooms, homes, museums, or the workplace. By the end of this project, the PIs expect to have a well-developed partnership, inventory, and strategic plan for Phase II that focuses on transforming the way people think about climate science: shifting it from a contentious issue to a personal and professional challenge.

已向哥伦比亚大学颁发了一项奖金，以与师范学院、巴纳德学院、新罕布什尔州大学、阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯、国际北极研究中心和美国自然历史博物馆合作建立第一阶段气候变化教育伙伴关系。CCEP第一阶段项目的总体目标是建立一个协调的区域或主题合作伙伴关系的国家网络，致力于增加采用与气候变化及其影响科学相关的有效，高质量的教育计划和资源。该项目将重点发展极地学习和应对气候伙伴关系。 通过该奖项，POLAR合作伙伴关系将利用尖端的极地科学研究新颖的教育方法，让成年学习者参与促进他们对气候变化的理解，权衡科学证据，并激发有意义的个人和集体反应。该项目的目标受众包括成人学习者和教育工作者：大学生、职前和在职教师、非正规教育工作者、其他创造教育资源的人以及普通大众中的终身学习者。 利益相关者和最终用户是年轻人、未来的科学家、公民、管理者和决策者，包括北极等偏远地区的决策者。 第一阶段极地项目的具体目标是建立一种伙伴关系，在彻底搜索现有极地气候科学和学习与决策资源的基础上，为新的正式和非正式教育方法建立理论基础，并测试其初步设计。 重点将是帮助成人学习者了解气候变化的机制和影响，并学习如何应对可持续解决方案的资源。 该伙伴关系将探索基于科学证据的方法，有效，易于传播，信息丰富，有趣，易于在教室，家庭，博物馆或工作场所使用。在该项目结束时，PI希望为第二阶段制定一个完善的伙伴关系，库存和战略计划，重点是改变人们对气候科学的看法：将其从一个有争议的问题转变为个人和专业挑战。有关该项目的更多信息，请访问http：http://climate.columbia.edu/或联系PI Stephanie Pfirman（[e-mail]）。
