This award to Colorado State University will establish a Phase I Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) in collaboration with the National Parks Conservation Association, the National Park Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere. 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. Nearly 30% of the United States is designated as federally owned and managed public lands, and this project will take advantage of the natural settings provided by national parks and wildlife refuges to communicate the impacts of climate change. With over 300 million annual visitors, national parks and wildlife refuges offer unique opportunities for climate change education. While visiting one of America's protected areas, citizens witness the impact of disappearing glaciers, increased wildfires, sea level rise, land erosion, and others. This project will focus on how our national parks and wildlife refuges can function as sites for educating diverse members of the public about climate change impacts, adaptations and actions. The audience targeted by this project includes national park and wildlife refuge interpretive staff and visitors, including school teachers and students. The specific goals are to (1) identify partners in parks and refuges interested in integrating climate change research into place-based learning and interpretive programming; (2) develop a comprehensive, climate change strategy for effective teaching and learning, specifically focusing on educational resources and tools rooted in parks and refuges; (3) create a framework for sharing resources, and (4) develop specific educational programs for the targeted groups. The vision is to build collaborative capacity to inspire citizens and communities to take action through informal public education.By the end of this project, the PIs expect to have completed 1) an inventory of current scientific and educational resources, training opportunities, organizations, and practices, that identifies needs and opportunities related to climate change education; 2) identifying areas where additional learning science research is needed to further advance the effectiveness of climate change education; 3) several stakeholder workshops and other community-building activities that engage relevant stakeholders; 4) a comprehensive climate change education strategic plan integrating education and climate change information; and 5) identifying the most effective methods of engaging diverse audiences in climate change education.

授予科罗拉多州立大学的这一奖项将与国家公园保护协会、国家公园管理局、美国鱼类和野生动物管理局以及大气研究合作研究所合作，建立第一阶段气候变化教育伙伴关系（CCEP）。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。美国近30%的土地被指定为联邦拥有和管理的公共土地，该项目将利用国家公园和野生动物保护区提供的自然环境来宣传气候变化的影响。 国家公园和野生动物保护区每年有3亿多游客，为气候变化教育提供了独特的机会。 在参观美国的一个保护区时，市民们目睹了冰川消失、野火增加、海平面上升、土地侵蚀等的影响。 该项目将侧重于我们的国家公园和野生动物保护区如何发挥作用，教育公众了解气候变化的影响，适应和行动。该项目的目标受众包括国家公园和野生动物保护区的解说人员和游客，包括学校教师和学生。具体目标是：（1）确定有兴趣将气候变化研究纳入基于场所的学习和解释性方案编制的公园和庇护所伙伴;（2）制定一项全面的气候变化战略，促进有效的教学和学习，特别侧重于公园和庇护所的教育资源和工具;（3）建立资源共享框架;（4）为目标群体制定具体的教育方案。该项目的愿景是建立合作能力，激励公民和社区通过非正式的公共教育采取行动。到该项目结束时，参与者预计将完成：1）现有科学和教育资源、培训机会、组织和做法的清单，确定与气候变化教育有关的需求和机会;（2）确定需要进一步开展学习科学研究的领域，以进一步提高气候变化教育的有效性;（3）举办若干利益攸关方研讨会和其他有相关利益攸关方参与的社区建设活动;（4）一项将教育和气候变化信息结合起来的全面的气候变化教育战略计划;（5）确定让不同受众参与气候变化教育的最有效方法。有关该项目的更多信息，请访问http：//warnercnr.colostate.edu/CCEP，或联系PI Jessica Thompson（[e-mail]）和Karen Hevel-Mingo（[e-mail]）。
