Engaging Campus Conversations about Climate Action part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
Nicky Phear, The University of Montana-Missoula
Campus Climate Conversations are designed to be both educational and "deliberative," meaning students, staff, and faculty interact with one another in small groups to share views and ideas about climate action strategies. This activity is structured to enhance education and engagement, and to generate collaborative climate action strategies.

Game: SMARTIC Arctic Case Study part of CAMEL:Activities
Jessica Brunacini, Columbia University in the City of New York; Stephanie Pfirman, Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus
Students will build off of an introductory lecture on climate change in the Arctic to devise a strategy to manage climate change impacts on the global scale (the Arctic). After a brief synopsis on current management approaches in the Arctic, students will use information based on the stakeholders and interests they've identified before class, to organize and present.
