On January 29, 2017, there’s a great opportunity to participate in NOAA’s Book Club and become familiar with an anthology of Climate Fiction. Consider using this opportunity to delve into Climate Change in a new way – and think about ways you could engage new audiences using fiction reading and discussions to open the door to environmental learning and action.
The NOAA Office of Education has issued a competitive funding opportunity (NOAA-SEC-OED-2018-2005455) for projects designed to support the education of the public and/or K-12 students so they are knowledgeable of the ways in which their community can become more resilient to extreme weather events and/or other environmental hazards, and become involved in achieving that resilience. The deadline for pre-applications (which are required) is December 19, 2017. The deadline for full applications is April 6, 2018. Pre-applications and full applications must be submitted online via Grants.gov.

NOAA's Climate Stewards Education Project (CSEP) is collaborating with Federal, State, and NGO partners to convene six climate-science workshops for formal and informal educators. Participants will hear from and interact with climate science, education, and communication experts, and visit facilities to explore innovations in climate research, mitigation, and/or adaptation. Each workshop will focus on regional and/or topical impacts of climate change, with a goal of connecting educators and their students/audiences to the best-available, science-based information and resources about climate change.
