The release of the 2024 Climate Literacy Guide by the federal government, which emphasizes climate justice, solutions, and the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, marks a significant update to the principles guiding climate education. In response, CIRES' Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) has incorporated these updated guidelines into its extensive online database, which provides educators with over 1,000 peer-reviewed resources on climate change, including curriculum, videos, and data visualizations. CLEAN, which has supported climate education since 2008, focuses on fostering effective teaching practices and offers professional development for educators. Read more on the CIRES website.
CIRES has partnered with the ADVANCEGeo Partnership to launch ADVANCEing FieldSafety, a free online course aimed at creating safer, more inclusive field environments in geoscience research. Available through Coursera, the course is open to anyone involved in fieldwork, including researchers, students, and technicians. It addresses long-standing issues like harassment and exclusion in fieldwork by offering tools to improve team culture, communication, and safety protocols. Read more about it on the CIRES website.
