About ECCLPs

We will work with Indigenous leaders to respectfully center on the knowledge of Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge and cultures in leading, understanding, and mitigating climate challenges.

Building partnerships and sharing knowledge and resources can amplify the impact of our climate literacy efforts.

ECCLPs believes that communities should be actively engaged in addressing climate issues affecting them and authentically included in the process of identifying and developing solutions with key partners.

Acknowledging that solutions must be developed in context for them to be effective, we seek to make place-based climate solutions through education relevant to different communities.

ECCLPs believes that education, particularly within PK-12 schools, can be a catalyst for climate and environmental actions, justice, and solutions.

Prioritizing marginalized communities aligns with the principle of climate justice, ensuring those most affected receive the support they need to thrive. We seek to eliminate systemic barriers and inequities, while advancing equitable access to resources and opportunities.

Keeping justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the core of decision-making ensures that our actions align with these principles as we work to combat and thrive through the climate emergency.

We acknowledge that addressing climate change is a multifaceted challenge and it calls for approaches that bridge different subject areas while engaging both systems and local community organizations at the forefront of the issues.

By being transparent about our goals, progress, and active evaluation of our efforts, ECCLPs aims to improve our effectiveness.
