Join the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) to learn more about a new federal interagency climate literacy resource, Climate Literacy: Essential Principles for Understanding and Addressing Climate Change, endorsed by 15 federal agencies, now available at https://www.climate.gov/climateliteracy. You’ll hear from the developers of the guide on how it was created, the essential principles it covers, and how it can be used, with an opportunity to ask questions.

About the Climate Literacy Guide: The guide was first published by USGCRP in 2008 and was updated in 2009. This 2024 edition reflects recent advances in our understanding of climate change, based on the latest climate science assessments. It also updates the definition of climate literacy to encompass physical science as well as local knowledge and Indigenous Knowledges, social sciences, approaches to addressing climate change, and climate justice concepts. This guide is written with educators, communicators, and decision-makers in mind.
