Session: AGU Climate Solutions Conferences (CSC): Building Multidisciplinary Climate Change Solutions, Education, Communications Partnerships I (AGU Fall Meeting 2018)

GH33A:
AGU Climate Solutions Conferences (CSC): Building Multidisciplinary Climate Change Solutions, Education, Communications Partnerships I

Session ID#: 61338

Session Description:

The world wants climate solutions. Beginning spring 2019, the AGU Climate Solutions Conferences will build pathways and partnerships for communities to discover, define, investigate, and implement climate solutions. Climate solutions are human rights solutions – diversity is a central theme of the conferences. The organizers seek abstracts from interested session leads on any and all possible themes addressing climate solutions; and from educators and communicators interested in working on climate solutions. Presenters will be invited to organize a theme working group followed by an interdisciplinary breakout session for the presented theme at the 2019 conference. Conveners seek education partnerships to create open source education materials based on themes developed at the AGU Climate Solutions Conferences beginning spring 2019. The target audience is high schools, colleges and universities. Hence, we are seeking long term partnerships to develop and update education resources annually in concert with the annual AGU Climate Solutions Meeting.
