Climate change (CC) and ocean degradation (OD) affect every living species on the planet. CC and OD negatively impact marine life, plant life, soils and agriculture, animals and humans. One way to fight against CC and OD is by learning from climate and ocean programmes and activities, both formal and informal.
Climate and ocean education is crucial as it helps people to better understand how climate is changing and how the ocean is degrading. Such education will thus provide know-how and ways to act for individuals and for communities to adapt to and mitigate CC and OD.
In this poster, we survey some of the variety and diversity of climate and ocean literacy activities at personal and institutional levels. At the personal level, we will show experiences that help people to learn about CC and OD, such as work with indigenous communities, attending conferences and studying in MOOCs. Examples at the institutional level include working in an environmental association, attending workshops (eg, EN-ROADS) and participating in a participatory simulation (eg, IOCS).
We invite you to visit our poster and share your climate and ocean literacy activities.
