The Paleontological Research Institution's Center for Climate Change Education has a wide array of resources and programming to support the teaching of climate change across the curriculum and across the grade span. Join them on Tuesday, December 16 at 7:00 pm Eastern for a free workshop showing the breadth and depth of these resources. 

In this professional development workshop, teachers will draw on the rich resources of PRI's Center for Climate Change Education to build confidence in teaching about climate change and energy. The workshop will highlight the interdisciplinary nature of climate change, including the essential roles of understanding mathematical scale and energy history for understanding climate change. 

Participants will explore the Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change, a detailed, peer-reviewed digital text that unpacks climate fundamentals and addresses the social, political, and scientific challenges of teaching a polarized topic. The guide was authored by PRI's Climate Team, who will host the workshop. 

We will highlight classroom-tested activities and resources, such as building a wind-powered elevator to illustrate energy conversion, exploring regional energy history, and using thermometry and water to model thermal expansion in the context of sea-level rise. We will both engage in short activities from across the disciplines that can be directly applied in the classroom and discuss management of climate emotions. 

The workshop also highlights video resources — including PRI’s In the Greenhouse series — and guidance on teaching about the IPCC’s reports, making complex science accessible. Participants leave with tools and strategies that will equip them to deliver engaging, standards-aligned lessons grounded in current climate science and mitigation strategies.

Instructors - PRI’s Climate Team:

• Dr. Don Haas, Director of Teacher Programming, PRI

• Dr. Alex Moore, Senior Education Associate, PRI

• Dr. Rob Ross, Associate Director for Outreach, PRI

• Dr. Ingrid Zabel, Climate Change Education Manager, PRI

There is new research on whether people view climate action and cost of living as competing goals–and what that means for effective messaging. 76% of Americans agree we’re living in a “cost of living crisis” today, and 48% are very worried about it.

What does that mean for clean energy and climate communicators? Especially when opponents are pushing a narrative that clean energy is expensive while fossil fuels are cheap?

The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication recently conducted a nationally representative survey on Americans’ top worries across 14 different issues, including the cost of living, the economy, global warming, immigration, crime, government corruption, etc. They found that cost of living is one of Americans’ top worries, but top worries vary dramatically, depending on the audience.

Potential Energy Coalition recently completed an extensive research project in the US to answer a few critical questions:

1. What do people mean when they say “cost of living” is a top issue today, and how much do energy bills specifically factor into these concerns?

2. To what extent do people view clean energy and climate action as part of the problem or part of the solution for energy affordability?

3. Against this backdrop, what messages are most effective at driving support for clean energy and climate action?

4. How can we most effectively respond to questions or concerns about the cost of clean energy when raised?

Potential Energy Coalition is eager to share what they’ve learned with you! They invite you to join them for a discussion hosted by the Yale Center for Environmental Communication. They’ll be sharing key findings from the research, including both audience insights and effective messaging recommendations.

In this workshop, we'll explore how our emotions about climate change can impact how we engage with the realities of a changing world on our own, how we show up for our students, and our capacity for resilience. Together, we will ground ourselves in a meditation specifically designed for climate educators. We will then discuss how to tune in one's own emotions, followed by an interactive exercise. We will conclude by sharing practical tools, like the Climate Emotions Toolkit, that can help you bring these concepts into the classroom. We understand that some of these workshops do not work for educator's schedules, so all registrants will receive a recording and additional resources to their e-mail within 1 week of the event. We are striving to make our events more welcoming to all, with specific goals about racial equity and inclusivity. Your answers during registration will help us to know how we are doing.

Through the Walton Campus Urban Agriculture Program, powered by Start:Empowerment and the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP), young people are reclaiming 5,000 square feet of underused space as a model for school-based environmental transformation.

What to Expect:

• 🌿Guided Tour: Walk through the 5,000 sq ft garden with Bronx youth leaders and Start:Empowerment staff, exploring the multi-year process, student stories, and design visions that brought this project to life.

• 🎶Living Soundscape: Experience music created by plants themselves, blending art, science, and ecology into an immersive climate education experience.

• 🥗Community Gathering & Mixer: Close the event with a low-waste, vegetarian food spread that reflects our commitment to sustainability and care.

Accessibility & Care:

The event will include simultaneous Spanish translation, masks, and air purifiers in the main gathering spaces to ensure accountability, safety, and accessibility for all attendees.

Rooted in Community

S:E’s Climate Convergence is, and always has been, a free, youth-led and community-driven event for youth, families, and educators—with free food, activities, and more. Everyone is welcome—no payment required. But that also means every year, we begin with a $0 budget.

This year, for the first time, S:E is inviting their broader community to help sustain this work and compensate the incredible people who make the event possible—with support:

• 🎨 Stipends for Youth Leaders – BIPOC students from the Walton Campus working after school hours to set up and guide the event.

• 🌱 Support for Our BIPOC-Led NYC Hub Team – Sustaining the leadership of our team of educators, garden specialists, and organizers who make this vision possible, oversee all aspects of the garden, and mentor BIPOC youth

• 🗣️ Community Translators – Honoring those who ensure multilingual access, making the event inclusive for all and challenging the exclusionary nature of English-only spaces.

• 🥘 Food for All – Shared meals are at the heart of the Climate Convergence. We’ve always made sure there’s enough for everyone—whether you RSVP’d, joined from across the street, or are an unhoused neighbor who just needs a plate.

Suggested donations are completely optional, and all funds raised through sliding-scale contributions will go directly toward supporting these costs. We're committed to transparency and will share a cost breakdown after the Climate Convergence.

Support, whether through participation or contribution, helps sustain this powerful space for learning, joy, and action. Thank you for being part of it! 💚

Youth Climate Summits are energetic, student-centered events that bring together young people from different schools to learn about climate justice, science, and solutions and kickstart their own Climate Action Projects. Originally designed for high school audiences, the model has also been successfully implemented with elementary, middle, and undergraduate students. This 90-minute virtual workshop will introduce you to The Wild Center’s award-winning Youth Climate Summit model. Whether you are a current student, informal or formal educator, join us to explore how you can organize a summit using our framework, hear inspiring stories from past events, and connect with a growing international network of summit organizers. This workshop will include interactive breakout sessions, so come ready to engage with other participants and practice planning a summit.

Climate change impacts us all, but not equally. It reopens the wounds of past disasters for older generations, while younger generations live with the fear of an uncertain future. Vulnerable communities face the harshest realities of this crisis, carrying both the immediate damage and the long-term trauma. This event will explore how climate change and generational trauma intersect, and what it means for building resilience across communities.

Emotional distress caused by the environmental crisis is on the rise and impacting all generations. As the effects of climate change become more visible and severe, and with the spread of climate misinformation, eco-anxiety is considered the newest climate hazard. This panel explores the roots of this anxiety and how we can collectively cope to live with our new world.
