Climate Resilience from the Youth Up - Spartan Public Engagment Map

A place-based strategy uniting high school students, educators, scientists, residents, community organizations, and municipalities in southeast Michigan. As a funded project partner, GLISA is working with Michigan Sea Grant, Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition (SEMIS), and EcoWorks Detroit to create a curriculum high school teachers can use to educate high school students and empower them to teach residents about local climate impacts. GLISA is engaging directly with students to discuss climate observations, impacts, and resilience practices. In addition to providing localized climate data, GLISA is advising EcoWorks Detroit Youth Energy Squad (YES) coordinators on tools in the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit to bring into the classroom. The project’s goal is for students to utilize a wealth of NOAA tools, data sets, and assessment criteria to think critically about environmental hazards and to prioritize solutions to enhance community resilience.
