<p>In previous years, the authors have addressed questions related to <strong>geoethics education,</strong> or what we have called <strong>geo-edu-ethics</strong> (<strong>GEE</strong>), in relation to geo-problems in general (such as global warming, pollution, sea-level rise, deforestation, ocean acidification, biodiversity).</p><p>In this session we wish to focus in on the greatest of all geo-problems, that of <strong>climate change</strong> (<strong>CC</strong>), which necessarily entails the urgent need for massive, widespread <strong>climate literacy</strong> (<strong>CL</strong>) &#8211; both education and learning.&#160; We wish to examine the relationships between GEE and CL, their overlaps and differences, and how they may mutually reinforce each other.&#160; In so doing, we will also touch on the ethics of educational and learning methods that are used to help people learn about geoethics and CC.</p><p>Currently, it seems that the two areas work in parallel, maybe even separated by a mindset of splendid isolation, and yet the apparent overlap, not least in their visons and missions, beckons us to bring the two closer together.&#160; This is what we will attempt in our presentation.&#160; The questions that we plan to address include the following:</p><ul><li>Is it true, or a misconception, that GEE and CL tend to work separately, often ignorant of each other?</li>
<li>What do GEE and CL have in common?</li>
<li>Their ethos, their content, their methods, their audience?</li>
<li>Is it possible to unify the GEE and CL into an overarching rational and thereby form a coherent community of practice?</li>
<li>What can practitioners in each bubble learn from each other? What will it take for the two bubbles to merge?</li>
<li>How can each group maintain its own professional identity (if that is deemed important) and yet work hand in hand with the other, to their mutual benefit?</li>
<li>What are the most effective ways forward, given the geoethical urgency of acting to slow CC?</li>
</ul><p>The presentation will be interactive, as we will invite the audience to contribute their own ideas and experience.&#160; If we are permitted to have breakout rooms, we will divide into small groups for a short time, and then bring everyone together for a plenary sharing.</p>
