There seems to be no shortage of drama in the arena of climate communication these days. While decorum in the classroom is far better than in the media, educators still need to have a careful approach to communicating controversial topics like climate change so that students come away with a better understanding of climate science and the importance of taking action to reduce climate change and its impacts. Thus, the CLEAN project is hosting an online workshop dedicated entirely to the topic of climate communication in the classroom.

This workshop will explore effective practices for communicating climate science and climate policy in the classroom and will provide strategies to help improve student understanding of this complex and sensitive topic. Noted speakers include John Cook, author of the Skeptical Science website, Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication, and Susan Buhr, education outreach director of CIRES at the University of Colorado.

The workshop is for undergraduate faculty who teach, or plan to teach, climate topics in their courses.

The workshop is held entirely online so no travel is necessary. There is no registration fee, but participants need to pre-register by March 20, 2012. For details see
