Educating, informing, and inspiring action to address climate change

Informal educators do so much already in the area of climate change education. So, how do we support one another’s work, improve our practices, and above all, enhance our collective impact? That is the role of the Northeast Climate Change Education Collaborative.

We first came together in 2018 as a community of educators from 21 organizations across the northeast states representing nonprofits; higher education institutions; and state and federal government agencies. 

Today, we are 80+ organizations, organized to make systems-level change for climate action, justice and education in public education; educator professional learning; early childhood education; middle and high school education; connected learning ecosystems; and supporting youth climate action.
