Climate Change Education Communication Group

For the past 6 years, a group of individuals has gotten together to discuss Climate Change and how we can work to educate the public.  

We are pleased to announce the group is back, with a slightly new name and new leadership.  The Climate Change Education Communication Group will be co-led by Laurel Kohl from ISE,  Jennifer Pagach from DEEP, and Rachel Gilroy from Common Ground School. We would like to change the meeting format a bit and make sure it will still suit your needs.  We  hold monthly meetings (mostly webinars, some in person) where we can share events and information, as well as learn about Climate Change science and policy.
