In order to promote community across all institutions and organizations who devote their time and efforts to battling the ongoing climate crisis, this page serves the purpose of cataloguing events outside of the Monmouth University Climate Change Learning Collaborative. The MU CCLC has no affiliation with these events and cannot provide compensation to NJ public school teachers if they decide to attend. This is purely for the enrichment of those who wish to learn more for the benefit of themselves and their students.
