A diverse group of volunteers, docents, students, staff and scientists from California science centers, museums and UC Berkeley have established Climate Change Education. Org (CCEO), a lively on line resource center “used by millions” of teachers and students. CCEO works to establish partnerships among people and institutions to make climate change educational resources created by many groups and individuals widely available. The web site features a wealth of hands-on, interactive resources and activities offering students of all ages opportunities to learn about climate change by doing.

Scrolling down the homepage the user will encounter 20 or 30 high quality resources and activities to spark personal investigation. Rollover maps of major U.S. cities from the Architecture 2030 web site show viewers how much a 1-5 meter rises in sea level will impact the “footprint” of various urban areas–as polar ice continues to melt. The Union of Concerned Scientists’ “Ten Personal Solutions” is a thought-provoking look at some some hard personal choices that challenge us on an individual basis to take action. NSDL’s PALE: Classic Articles Global Warming series is also featured on CCEO’s homepage.

To “link up” visitors to CCEO are encouraged to participate by recommending new resources for the California Climate Change and Energy Educational Resources Catalog.
