Climate Literacy Webinar by Dr Oziewicz and Dr. Kleese
In December of 2023, 350 Chicago welcomed Dr. Marek Oziewicz and Dr. Nick Kleese from the Center for Climate Literacy at the University of Minnesota. In the webinar, Drs. Oziewicz and Kleese shared a vision of transforming public education into a force to transition us to an ecologically sustainable civilization. They introduced climate literacy as a broad narrative competency available to all from a very early age.
Here is the link to the video for their presentation: What Is Universal Climate Literacy and WhatDifference Can It Make?
Professors Oziewicz and Kleese explained that Climate Literacy is about developing values, attitudes, and behavioral change aligned with how to be good Earthlings; ?schools are
ground zero for this effort; stories are the best tools for this effort. ?You'll learn about the Center for Climate Literacy & how you can join a growing team dedicated to building an ecologically sound civilization one classroom at a time.
