All over the planet the impacts of extreme weather events related to climate change are being seen and felt with increasing ferocity and increasingly serious consequences for human society.

Climate Education : CCRC : Climate Change Resource Center, Web Link Resources Curriculum Background Background The CCRC is developing an educational program to provide accessible information on climate change science. Three comprehensive education modules are being created using curriculum developed by the Forest Service. These education modules can be used to satisfy the Forest Service Climate Change Performance Scorecard Element One requirement for all-employee education Complete the first module on Climate Change Science and Modeling by selecting the Climate Change Module tab above. Modules are based on the best available science and have many interactive features, allowing users to take control of their learning experience. The modules are based on a curriculum developed by the Forest Service Climate Change Advisor’s Office, Climate Change Education and Training Team.
