2026 CAEE Advancing EE Conference

Bring your climate communication skills to life in this one-day pre-conference workshop at CSU Spur. Hosted by Team Climate Resilient Colorado, part of the Earth to Sky Partnership network, this workshop is designed to connect interpreters, educators, and communicators with NASA science, climate research, and effective communication strategies that help make complex topics relevant and meaningful for local communities. 
While this workshop builds on concepts introduced in the Team Climate Resilient Colorado webinar series, all are welcome—whether or not you attended previous sessions. Together, we’ll revisit key ideas through a powerful Colorado story: how climate change is impacting pollinators, and use it as a lens to explore how to translate climate science into clear, engaging, and audience-specific messages.

Each year, we select a strategy from the Colorado Environmental Education Plan to explore together, with the goal of strengthening systems for PreK-12 outdoor and environmental learning in Colorado.  Building on last year's conversations, this year's summit with continue to focus on advocacy, both advocacy for environmental and outdoor learning as a field, and how organizations can thoughtfully engage in advocacy around environmental issues within their own missions and communities
As best practices and conversations around advocacy continue to evolve, we'll explore what effective, values-aligned advocacy can look like in a rapidly changing context.  Participants will hear from experts about current trends impacting our work, reflect on our shared advocacy framework, and collaborate to identify meaningful action steps we can take as individuals, organizations, and as a statewide network to move our field forward together.
