COmmunity COllaboration and LEarning for climate Resilience

COOLER is an innovative program at the University of Northern Colorado, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF - Award #2228170). Our team of passionate faculty from Meteorology, Earth Sciences, Geography, and Sustainability is building a powerful learning ecosystem to connect current and future climate leaders.

We do this by engaging faculty, students and local community members in finding solutions to local climate-related challenges. This page will link you to resources and different ways to connect with our community.

CLIMATES

The COOLER Climate Leadership Institute (COOLER-CLI) is our current major initiative. This a pilot program for UNC students and faculty, and local community organizations interested in building climate resilience. It is designed to:

  • Prepare students from all disciplines to work with community stakeholders on climate-related events, projects, or challenges, 
  • Prepare UNC faculty to employ their discipline-specific expertise in local climate-related challenges, and
  • Build the capacity of community climate resilience advocates by increasing their access to academic and public resources, and strengthening their connection with other community climate advocates.
