The Paleontological Research Institution (PRI) has announced the establishment of the Center for Climate Change Education, furthering its commitment to climate and energy education. This new initiative will equip educators and the public with practical tools for addressing climate change while contributing to global mitigation efforts. The Center will produce educational resources, create museum and nature center exhibits, offer professional development for educators, and provide climate education programs designed for diverse audiences. It will also support the broader climate education community.

“Our mission is to provide and support action-oriented climate change education everywhere,” said Don Haas, PhD, Director of Teacher Programming at PRI. “We believe humanity is facing a climate emergency and education is a fundamental tool for addressing this challenge.”

The session will provide an overview of resources from the Center and highlight selected learning activities for anyone who wants to learn or teach about climate change! Explore the Center’s resources at: https://climate.earthathome.org/
