Climate and Ocean Education: Geoethics, Emergency, Fossil Fuels, War, and more

The climate/ocean education session at the EGU brings together a wonderful group of warm hearts and creative minds from around the world, to present their ideas, practices and theories about helping people to better understand the changing climate and/or ocean. You do not need to be an expert, you do not need to have a PhD, you do not even need to have a diploma in geoscience or geography. All you need is enthusiasm, a desire to help people learn and an activity or experience or idea that you would like to share. You may talk about the climate or the ocean separately without the other, or about both together.

Contribute

You may contribute an oral presentation (in person or virtually) or a poster. Any formal or informal work or activity that you are doing to help people learn about climate change (CC) and/or the ocean will be of interest.Here are some examples:

Community initiatives, such as:

We have had some younger people telling us "we are too young" or "we do not have any experience". If you feel this way, then please look at the two blog posts below, by two high school pupils. They should give you courage to put finger to keyboard and send in an abstract. Students benefit from greatly reduced rates.
