12 Climate Challenge Kahoots

How much do you know about climate change, its effects on our oceans, our communities, our food and our health? Although people regularly discuss topics that explore differing ideas and raise controversy, such as the economy, politics and religious beliefs, conversations on climate change continue to be avoided. So how can we spark conversations and share critical information about how climate is affecting both rural and urban communities, our ecosystems, our energy and transportation, our polar regions?

We need to think of creative opportunities and unique approaches to share information that can help start the conversation. Columbia’s PoLAR program formed a partnership with NOAA and Kahoot! to introduce climate in a unique way to students and adults at gatherings and festivals. We are hosting a Climate Challenge through a set of 12 quizzes, each with about a dozen questions diving into different areas of the National Climate Assessment. Since our launch in early September, 450,000 players have accepted our Climate Challenge.
