The NAAEE 2022 conference will focus on the powerful role education can play in creating healthier communities and tackling today’s complex environmental and social issues. We’ll dig into vital topics in our field such as climate change education and climate justice, the benefits of connecting to nature, building a green workforce, protecting biodiversity, and centering equity in our work. We’ll explore creative new approaches that have emerged from the pandemic and delve into ways in which current research can increase our effectiveness as we work to transform communities so they are more sustainable and just.

NAAEE’s annual Research Symposium brings together researchers from around the globe to explore the current state and future directions of environmental education research. Participants engage in spirited dialogue about ongoing research and studies in their initial stages, fostering collaboration among researchers, graduate students, policymakers, and practitioners at all stages of their careers. The symposium seeks to advance the use of practices proven to be effective as we confront myriad challenges ranging from climate change to environmental, economic, and racial injustices.

The conference and research symposium will be held in person, with a virtual option available. Visit conference.naaee.org to register.
