There is a need for inclusive, interdisciplinary climate education that resonates with students and local communities as well as focused skill development within disciplines to prepare the next generation of climate leaders. Education is a critical aspect of enabling the Midwest to lower emissions, create a thriving green economy, and ensure a just and equitable transition that does not leave any of our rural, suburban, urban, and indigenous communities behind. The Midwest Climate Collaborative (MCC) is developing an education community of practice in order to share effective practices, models, and materials for creating this future.
