The Polar Learning And Responding (PoLAR) Climate Change Partnership is using fascination with the changing polar regions and novel educational approaches to engage adult learners and inform public understanding and response to climate change. Learning research and activities implemented during the Phase I demonstration project show that games and game-like approaches motivate exploration and learning of complex material. Focus has been placed on the poles because climate change is rapid in these regions and has global consequences. Images of the changing Arctic and Antarctic have become emblematic of environmental change for the public at large. PoLAR partners include expertise in: 1) Climate Science, both in Natural Science and Social Science; 2) Learning and Decision Science, including Learning Theory and Practice and Decision Science; and 3) Practitioners in Formal education, Informal education, and Gaming. The intellectual merit of the PoLAR Partnership is the combination of learning, decision, and climate science applied to educational approaches for adult learners. Adults, be they community leaders, the general public, pre- and in-service teachers, or college students, are today's decision-makers. Informed decisions are more likely if individuals are aware of the scientific evidence of climate change and potential economic and social consequences. Research is being conducted in this Phase II project to evaluate the impact of different platforms and tools in raising awareness and improving understanding. The project seeks to: 1) Deepen adult learner awareness and understanding of climate change; 2) Inform responses to climate change impacts through engaged problem-solving; and 3) Advance knowledge on more effective modes of climate change education and outreach. This project will transform education policies and practices by catalyzing new ways of learning about climate change at the poles based on scientific evidence, learning theory, and education practice, including current and emerging technology. Activities to achieve this goal include: 1) Providing transformative educational approaches that are easy to disseminate and exciting to use in homes, museums, classrooms, and communities; and 2) Inspiring change in practices and policies by seeding game-like approaches in informal and formal educational environments in collaboration with catalytic associates. This Phase II CCEP project is serving as a hub of communication and dissemination of information on polar climate change through the Polar Home website, which leverages existing resources, including the Climate Change Education Program Alliance (CCEPA). Diverse communities are being engaged through professional development of and public outreach to key stakeholder communities: AMNH teachers, Alaskan leaders through culturally responsive camps, and radio dispatches in multiple languages. The project has the potential to reach millions of adults through partners and associates including the Alaskan Association of Interior Native Educators, Games for Change, Isla Earth, Arctic Portal, AMNH, Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators, American Geophysical Union and WWF Global Arctic Programme.This project is one of six Phase II projects being funded through the Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) program. The CCEP program was developed as part of the NSF Climate Change Education program, established through Congressional appropriations in FY 2009. The CCEP program is a one-time, dedicated NSF effort 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. The CCEP portfolio encompasses a major interdisciplinary research and development effort designed to promote deeper understanding of, and engagement with, climate system science and the impacts of climate change on natural and human systems. The vision of this program is a scientifically literate society that can effectively weigh the evidence regarding global climate change as it confronts the challenges ahead, while preparing the innovative scientific and technical workforce to advance our knowledge of human-climate interactions and develop approaches for a sustainable, prosperous future. Each CCEP is required to incorporate innovative collaborations among expertise of climate scientists, learning scientists, and education practitioners in either formal or informal learning environments to research, design, and test new models and strategies for effective teaching and learning about climate science. With its focus on interdisciplinary approaches and transformative scales of impact, the CCEP program occupies a unique and complementary niche in the portfolio of Federal investments related to climate science education and workforce development.

极地学习和应对（Polar）气候变化伙伴关系利用对极地地区变化的迷恋和新颖的教育方法吸引成人学习者，并告知公众对气候变化的理解和应对。在第一阶段示范项目中实施的学习研究和活动表明，游戏和类似游戏的方法激发了对复杂材料的探索和学习。之所以把重点放在两极，是因为这些地区的气候变化迅速，并具有全球性的后果。不断变化的北极和南极的图像已经成为广大公众环境变化的象征。极地合作伙伴包括以下方面的专业知识：1)气候科学，包括自然科学和社会科学；2)学习与决策科学，包括学习理论与实践、决策科学；3)正规教育、非正规教育和游戏领域的从业者。PoLAR伙伴关系的智力优势是将学习、决策和气候科学应用于成人学习者的教育方法。成年人，无论是社区领袖、普通公众、在职教师还是大学生，都是当今的决策者。如果个人了解气候变化的科学证据以及潜在的经济和社会后果，就更有可能做出明智的决定。第二阶段计划现正进行研究，以评估不同平台和工具对提高认识和增进了解的影响。该项目旨在：1)加深成人学习者对气候变化的认识和理解；2)通过参与解决问题，为应对气候变化影响提供信息；3)提高对更有效的气候变化教育和推广模式的认识。该项目将根据科学证据、学习理论和教育实践（包括现有和新兴技术），促进了解两极气候变化的新方法，从而改变教育政策和实践。实现这一目标的活动包括：1)提供易于传播和令人兴奋的家庭、博物馆、教室和社区使用的变革性教育方法；2)通过在非正式和正式的教育环境中与催化伙伴合作，采用游戏式的方法，激发实践和政策的变化。第二阶段CCEP项目通过polar Home网站作为极地气候变化信息的交流和传播中心，该网站利用现有资源，包括气候变化教育计划联盟（CCEPA）。通过专业发展和对关键利益攸关方社区的公共宣传，不同社区正在参与进来：美国国家卫生组织教师、通过文化响应营地的阿拉斯加领导人，以及用多种语言进行无线电广播。该项目有潜力通过合作伙伴和合作伙伴接触数百万成年人，包括阿拉斯加内陆土著教育协会、变革游戏、Isla Earth、北极门户、AMNH、北极探险游轮运营商协会、美国地球物理联盟和世界自然基金会全球北极计划。该项目是气候变化教育伙伴关系（CCEP）计划资助的六个二期项目之一。CCEP项目是美国国家科学基金会气候变化教育项目的一部分，该项目是在2009财年通过国会拨款建立的。CCEP项目是美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的一次性专项项目，旨在建立一个以区域或主题为基础的合作伙伴关系协调的国家网络，致力于提高与气候变化及其影响科学相关的有效、高质量的教育项目和资源的采用。CCEP项目包括一项主要的跨学科研究和开发工作，旨在促进对气候系统科学以及气候变化对自然和人类系统的影响的更深入理解和参与。该计划的愿景是建立一个具有科学素养的社会，在面对未来挑战时，能够有效地权衡有关全球气候变化的证据，同时培养创新的科学和技术劳动力，以提高我们对人类与气候相互作用的认识，并为可持续、繁荣的未来开发方法。每个CCEP都需要在正式或非正式的学习环境中纳入气候科学家、学习科学家和教育从业者之间的专业知识创新合作，以研究、设计和测试有效的气候科学教学的新模式和策略。CCEP项目专注于跨学科方法和变革规模的影响，在与气候科学教育和劳动力发展相关的联邦投资组合中占有独特的互补地位。
