It has been widely acknowledged that the impacts of climate change and climate policy reveal the enduring legacies of colonialism.  But what about climate science itself?  We invite you to join us on Zoom on February 27, 2026, at 12:30 PM UTC, to celebrate the release of the first free online resource on the historical links between Climate Science and Colonialism and their current-day manifestations – and why and how we must do better.  This is the inaugural pilot version of a two-year project based on video talks by scholarly experts from around the world.  Intended for high school and college educators, scientists, scholars, activists and concerned citizens, this collection of curated resources is brought to you by the My Climate Risk Education Working Group in collaboration with MCR’s Himalayan Hub and The Pearl Hub (My Climate Risk is an initiative of the World Climate Research Programme).  Based on talks from our 2023 webinar series, Climate Science and Colonialism: Can We Do Better? the resources consist of 5 modules framed by an Introduction, background materials, suggestions for use across disciplines and guidelines for an Orienting Discussion that foregrounds the local geographical-cultural context.  Each module has learning outcomes and sub-themes with contextual readings, suggested questions and critical thinking discussion points.
