The overall aim of CFs is to initiate, maintain, disseminate, and refine educational efforts directed at understanding challenges relating to sustainability and climate change. The project aims to do this by providing a home-base for national and international interactions among teachers, students, researchers, program developers and evaluators, and other interested parties.
Peter Reimann and Bruce Sutton have developed the Cool Futures (CFs) project, and they coordinate its management. Chris Turney heads the climate and Earth science team. Peter Freebody is the Chair of the CFs Advisory Group.
