Develop Communication Resources and Targeted Educational Materials – The Hub leverages the research, communications strategies, and best practices developed by Climate Education Partners (CEP) through its $5 million National Science Foundation grant.
Provide Training, Workshops, Consulting and Student Internships – The Hub develops and facilitates workshops, trainings and conferences to educate civic and nonprofit leaders on how the growing and complex body of environmental research can be translated into effective local policies and practices.
