Mapping the Landscape of Nonformal CCE ACCROSS the United States

The Columbia University Centre for Sustainable Futures, the North American Association for Environmental Education, and the MECCE Project are thrilled to share the final report of a study on nonformal climate change communication and education (CCE) organizations across the United States.

The study shows the importance of ensuring CCE is holistic and engages with the places, communities, and stories of the learner; providing research-informed resources for teachers; developing strong networks and partnerships; and advocating for improved uptake of climate change in policy.

Watch Places, Communities, Stories: A case studies video

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quality climate communication and education (CCE), an analysis of a global series of MECCE Project case studies shows us there are shared characteristics. Learn more in our video.

Global Indicators

Explore and visualize the MECCE Project’s global indicators of climate change communication and education and country characteristics such as country emissions, climate vulnerability, and economic characteristics. Users can visualize and analyze the global indicators through global, region, and country views, including side-by-side visualizations of region- and country-level indicators.

CCE Country Profiles

Created in partnership with UNESCO GEM Report, the country profiles provide insight on national CCE strategies, legal frameworks, budgets, and policy and programming. The profiles are validated by country experts, such as ACE Focal Points, and support policy coherence and peer learning through analysis of areas for policy prioritization to advance ACE progress. We have now published 80 Country Profiles of CCE in partnership with the UNESCO GEM Report. The countries covered represent all levels of climate vulnerability, income/development, and SDG regions. They are also home to 75% of the global population.

The detailed country profiles offer a comparative perspective of country progress on ACE and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Targets 4.7 and 13.3.

View the profiles on the MECCE Project’s website (below) and the GEM Report’s Profiles Enhancing Education Reviews (PEER) website.

THE MECCE PROJECT's Global CCE Blog

The MECCE Project’s Global CCE Blog focuses on emerging issues in climate communication and education. We draw on our findings, as well as material from other projects and sources, to respond to the rapidly evolving policy environment and public discourse on climate communication and education.

Regional Hubs

This network of interactive groups was designed to support regional collaboration, input, and action in relation to climate communication and education. The Regional Hubs are networking forums that both enable regional input into the Project, and offer opportunities for sharing and mobilising Project impacts.

Digital Library

The MECCE Project’s Digital Library is an open access repository for our reports, scholarly publications, policy briefs, reports, videos, and more.

Learn about The Project

The MECCE Project is an ambitious international research partnership of over 100 leading scholars and agencies. Our goal is to advance global climate literacy and action through improving the quality and quantity of climate change education, training, and public awareness.
