K-12 Climate Change Education Opportunities

The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) in Arlington, Virginia, announces an opportunity to participate in an education program to promote the understanding of the potential impacts of climate variability and change.

The United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) initiated a National Assessment on the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.  The Assessment focuses on current knowledge about these potential consequences in relation to the public, the environment, and the nation's resources.

To promote awareness and understanding related to the Assessment, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sponsored IGES to develop K-12 learning activities.  IGES is now looking for innovative methods to promote use of these materials and increase the understanding of the potential regional impacts of climate variability and change.

To accomplish this, IGES is soliciting proposals for projects that incorporate and promote the use of these peer-reviewed climate change education materials for formal and informal education purposes.

A copy of the full proposal guidelines is available at http://www.strategies.org/solicitationtext.html.  Requests for additional information will only be accepted in writing.
