Simulations and other visualizations have been created to communicate the science of climate change to students in undergraduate chemistry and physics courses. Concurrent goals are to use climate science as a rich context for the teaching of fundamental science concepts, while also increasing climate literacy. An overview of our best practices for the use of visualizations is presented, followed by seven examples of simulations related to climate science developed at the King’s Centre for Visualization in Science to introduce a diverse set of topics into undergraduate science classrooms.
Civic science seeks to redress systemic racism and other forms of marginalization to advance a more inclusive, diverse, equitable, and resilient future. This collection of resources and calls to action, created and recommended by members of the civic science network, reflects the longstanding work of many, particularly by people of color. It is designed to support shared learning and action to build racial equity and dismantle systemic racism as part of the work of civic science.
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon® is a collegiate competition, initiated in 2002, that has grown to showcase much more than solar technologies. Today, the 10 contests that are the foundation of Solar Decathlon inspire student teams to design and build highly efficient buildings powered by renewables, while optimizing for key considerations including affordability, resilience, and occupant health.
By providing a standard for the building industry, the Fitwel Certification System supports widespread adoption of health promoting strategies through a user-friendly digital portal.
The Living Building Challenge is a sustainable building evaluation program that evaluates buildings on place, water, energy, health + happiness, materials, equity, and beauty.

While it has become increasingly clear that facilitating the sustainability movement is the great 21st century educational challenge at hand, this book asserts that it is both a dangerous and criminal development today that sustainability in higher education has come to be defined by the complex-friendly "green campus" initiatives of science, technology, engineering and management programs.

History and Climate Change is a balanced and comprehensive overview of the links between climate and man's advance from early to modern times. It draws upon demographic, economic, urban, religious and military perspectives. It is a synthesis of the many historical and scientific theories, which have arisen regarding man's progress through the ages.
