Climate education responds to and operates in a challenging educational and political landscape. The federal administration has shifted toward minimizing or even denying the reality of human-caused climate change, ...

We work towards a world in which all young people are informed and engaged in the issues and solutions of climate change and are empowered to become change makers in their families and communities.

In February 2017, Concord’s Sustainable Energy Committee (CSEC) combined the key actions from the book “Cooler Smarter: Practical Steps for Low-Carbon Living” (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2012) with the community-based social marketing concepts laid out in “Fostering Sustainable Behavior” (Douglas McKenzie-Mohr, 2011)

Our staff brings together expertise in education, climate science, and community engagement. We work alongside schools and partners to turn climate learning into meaningful, local action.

At Cooler Communities, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees, volunteers and members of collaborating agencies, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability, feel valued and respected.
