Alan, Thank you so very much for your leadership in bringing this all to publication and for posting here all the papers with the links to access them! You've made a major contribution to all of our efforts. Now it's up to us to make time to read/digest and thoughtfully use and build on this work.
The first paper I read made me wonder whether it would be useful to have a few Webinars -- including a couple of paired papers in each -- to generate discussion among practitioners and researchers. I'd love to hear from others re how we may best be able to use eePro to deeply understand and build on this work.
What do YOU think? Please, all of you, share your ideas with all of us.

Many thanks for everyone's appreciative comments on this collection. A few quick thoughts:

1. I'm sure the authors would welcome an opportunity to do a webinar or some such - their contact details are on each paper. I saw Kathryn, Martha, Joe, Kristen, Danielle, etc. at NAAEE this year, perhaps with the Research and Evaluation eePRO group (I'm one of the moderators) we could explore developing a co-hosted series with them to get things started, and reach out to some of the international contributors to the collection too?

2. The previous issue to 6 of Environmental Education Research also contained a set of papers on CC Ed:
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ceer20/25/5?nav=tocList
While not free-to-access entirely, these may also be good for a series, or a profile/guest blog post, etc., e.g. on the bicycle model, and non-school based approaches exemplified there?

With issue 6 too, these may help with updating the eeRESEARCH portal - e.g. as a filter/category given the timeliness of this topic? Or to supplement/update the eeWORKS effective strategies entry? https://naaee.org/eepro/research/eeworks/climate-change

3. Kartikeya's session in Lexington on the Action for Climate Empowerment consultation coordinated by CEE India, could be used to channel people's thoughts and recommendations based on research, evaluation and scholarship too - https://www.ceeindia.org/programmes/ACE.php - also, the timeline there may work for a webinar and a joint submission from this eePRO group?

4. Perhaps a bigger goal could be to work with those involved in the UNFCCC's dialogues, e.g. https://unfccc.int/event/7th-dialogue-on-action-for-climate-empowerment, and the focal point, e.g., https://twitter.com/adri_aval - e.g. on what goes into Education Day at the COP meetings - a topic covered in the editorial to issue 6.

Looking forward to hearing other thoughts and reflections, and how we could work together to create a plan for action on this?

Thanks for starting this thread, Alan. A couple responses to your latest directly above:

1. I'm happy to help with this. Note that Andrea Drewes and I, along with many co-authors, have a book coming out early next year that's a blend of research and practice stories on the US context. Book will be at AERA and a note that Oren Pizmony-Levy and I are organizing a high-level "Presidential Session" on CCE there too. AERA leadership is paying attention to this (finally!), so FYI there.

2. A bunch of us co-authored a foundations piece over at Ed. Studies journal to try to scope out some of the basic CCE research terrain. Might be a useful place to start for some here:

3/4. It'd be very cool to coordinate some kind of international effort here. The book I mentioned above is only focused on the US context because that's what we're most familiar with. But there's a broader project to be had here, IMO. Happy to help.
