Session ID#: 12862

Session Description:
Climate change is impacting many aspects of society. In order to address these impacts, coordinated large-scale efforts and effective partnerships are needed to equip citizens, professionals, and other decision-makers with the scientific underpinning necessary to make informed decisions for society.  However, given its complexity and scale, achieving collective impact on climate literacy requires coordinated contributions from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, arts, and society. Across the country, organizations are beginning to see the power of collaboration and reaching across traditional disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries to be truly transdisciplinary. We invite presentations related to the development, implementation, challenges, and opportunities of partnerships and/or networks that work towards enabling collective impact on climate literacy. Of particular interest are efforts that bridge audiences, topics, or regions not traditionally connected. However, contributions for all effective partnerships, networks, and efforts related to collective impact to enhance climate literacy are welcome.
