Addressing the knowledge gap by empowering Canadians with the knowledge they need to navigate complex environmental challenges and drive impactful, informed action.
Closing the knowledge gap is crucial for building climate literacy in Canada. While many people understand that climate change is a pressing issue, disinformation and a lack of accessible, reliable information can prevent meaningful action. GCEF focuses on bridging this gap by commissioning research and assessments that uncover where educational efforts fall short, revealing critical areas where students, teachers and the general public need more resources and support to engage with climate issues. By addressing these gaps, we aim to empower Canadians with the knowledge they need to navigate complex environmental challenges and drive impactful, informed action.
