**Research Associate - MECCE Project**:
The MECCE Project is an international research partnership with the goal of advancing global climate literacy and action through improved quality and quantity of climate change communication and education (CCE). The MECCE Project partnership includes over 100 scholars and organizations, including an Advisory Committee comprised of the IPCC, UNESCO, UNFCCC, and UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report. This 6-year, $4.5 million Partnership Grant is largely funded by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, hosted by the University of Saskatchewan, and directed by Prof. Marcia McKenzie.
The MECCE Project aims to increase context-informed understandings of quality CCE in policy and practice, as well as to provide global data to support governmental and intergovernmental benchmarking, target setting, and progress in quantity of CCE provision. The Project addresses these aims through three Axes of activities: 1) Case Studies, to increase the quality of CCE through generating novel understandings of quality CCE based on synthesized literature, select case studies, and country profiles; 2) Indicator Development, to increase the quantity of quality CCE through the development of new datasets and indicators to support global CCE target-setting and monitoring; and 3) Knowledge Mobilization, to contribute high impact research-based deliverables for key partners and audiences to advance policy and practice.
