Foreword

Once you know something about the effects of climate change—its present and future consequences—everything has something to do with climate change, and if that is true then teaching about climate change can and probably should happen with more regularity across disciplinary fields.

Eric Fretz, Introduction to Climate Change across the Curriculum

Educators in all disciplines have an incredible opportunity to advance discussions, knowledge, and skills for our students (our fellow citizens of the world) on what is one of the singular issues affecting every individual on the planet. This OER is designed to provide some direction and help for faculty willing to take on the responsibility to help our students prepare to survive in a world dramatically different from what we have experienced. The OER is a work in progress and I look forward to hearing about what works and what doesn’t as well as what resources you could use.
