co-production
Ensuring that the overarching outcomes are collaboratively developed and improved through iterative learning processes.
Teacher-researcher knowledge exchange
Facilitating co-production of knowledge and understanding among K-12 teachers, researchers, and non-formal educators related to climate-induced risks and responses. These collaborative groups interact with WyACT research questions and various teams to support Wyoming students and communities, while also supporting the integration of traditional ecological knowledge, economic and modeling connections, scenario planning, and data collection efforts, and building capacity in scenario planning methods.
