Climate, Adaptation, Mitigation, E-Learning (CAMEL) is a free online resource to pioneer undergraduate education on climate change causes, consequences, and solutions. CAMEL is developing an extensive, high quality, vetted collection of climate related educational materials that incorporate a broad array of cyber content types. The goal of CAMEL is to provide the opportunity for every college student to become educated about climate change and the personal, professional, and societal options for meeting the major challenges posed by this urgent problem.

CAMELiscreated by the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD) of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) and supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Division of Undergraduate Education (NSFGRANT 0950396).

Rolph, great question. CAMEL is coming on-line in phases. In terms of climate education content, there is already a fair amount, and we have been adding content (there are now about 1600 articles with some climate content). A number of people are teaching climate change courses that rely heavily on these materials. We are slower in getting the on-line networking and faculty development functions working, but we are working on that, and hope to have something to share in the next few months. Anyone interested in helping, please send me a message.
