About
Climate change is happening quickly and impacts have spread across all sectors of our society and economy. Yet, training and knowledge on how to understand, work with, and plan for climate impacts and solutions is scarce and scattered. And too often it's provided by people or organizations with an agenda.
Engage Climate Science brings understanding, frameworks, and tools that address climate insights and strategic planning without the agenda. Grounded in current climate research with programs taught by a world-renowned climate scientist, Engage Climate Science brings access to climate thinking to those who need it.
With in-person and virtual seminars, half to multiday workshops, and custom programming available, we have the content to meet your needs.
