Climate change is the most pressing societal challenge of our time, and students within higher education need new training and skills to prepare them to lead on climate solutions—both in their professional careers and as global citizens. The geosciences are central to climate leadership, but for the geosciences to contribute meaningfully to policy solutions, understanding of and engagement across a range of disciplines is increasingly necessary. To meet this need, the Climate Leaders Academy (CLA) will formalize interdisciplinary climate-training and professional development through a cohort model that brings together undergraduates and graduate students from a diverse set of institutions and backgrounds. The PIs will directly engage participants in national and international climate change frameworks, and provide financial support, formalized mentoring, an established network of ongoing support, and transferable undergraduate and graduate-level course credits. Climate change is one of the most difficult societal challenges of our time, and expertise and leadership from nearly all fields of study are needed. Graduates from our nation’s colleges and universities need new training and skills to prepare them to lead on climate change issues, which includes an understanding of the national and international frameworks of which the U.S. is a part. In addition, certain populations in the U.S. are still disproportionately under-represented in U.S. climate studies, meaning there is a substantial un-tapped talent-pool of potential leaders. This program establishes a Climate Leaders Academy to (i) foster optimism regarding the nation’s and the world’s capacity to address climate change; (ii) train students in the interactions across many fields that are necessary to develop climate change solutions, including law, policy, science, and engineering; (iii) advance societal understanding of climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions; and (iv) using the international climate change negotiations as a learning platform, train U.S. students to engage across cultures, countries, and different fields of study. The project will prepare participants to compete in a global work force that is increasingly demanding and providing better opportunities for climate-educated graduates. The project is uniquely aligned with Program, Agency and Administration priorities. Most importantly, providing real-time training opportunities for participants in international negotiation techniques which the Program sees as an innovative skillset that will allow grad students to be prepared for the necessities of international collaboration around the critical subject of climate change.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

气候变化是我们这个时代最紧迫的社会挑战，高等教育中的学生需要新的培训和技能，使他们能够领导气候解决方案，包括他们的职业职业和全球公民。地球科学是气候领导的核心，但是对于地球科学为政策解决方案做出有意义的贡献，对各种学科的理解和参与是越来越有必要的。为了满足这一需求，气候领导学院（CLA）将通过同伴模型正式化跨学科的气候训练和专业发展，该模型汇集了来自众多机构和背景的潜水者的大学生和研究生。 PI将直接参与参与者参与国家和国际气候变化框架，并提供财务支持，正式的心理，建立的持续支持网络，并转移了本科和研究生级课程学分。气候变化是我们这个时代最困难的社会挑战之一，几乎需要所有研究领域的专业知识和领导才能。来自我们国家大学的毕业生需要新的培训和技能，以便他们准备领导气候变化问题，其中包括对美国是美国国家和国际框架的理解。此外，美国某些人口在美国气候研究中的代表性不足，这意味着潜在的领导者有大量的未掌握的人才。该计划建立了气候领导学院，以（i）对国家和全世界应对气候变化的能力培养乐观； （ii）培训学生在许多领域进行互动，这些领域是开发气候变化解决方案，包括法律，政策，科学和工程的必要条件； （iii）提高对气候变化，其影响和潜在解决方案的社会理解； （iv）使用国际气候变化谈判作为学习平台，培训美国学生跨文化，国家和不同的研究领域参与。该项目将使参与者准备参加越来越多要求的全球劳动力，并为受气候教育的毕业生提供了更好的机会。该项目与计划，代理和管理优先事项完全一致。最重要的是，为参与者提供国际谈判技术的参与者提供实时培训机会，该计划将其视为一种创新的技能，将使毕业生能够为围绕气候变化的关键主题进行国际合作的必要需求做好准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识优点和广泛的范围来评估，以评估来获得评估。
