The My Climate Risk Education Working Group (MCR-EWG) is a forum for MCR members to discuss and disseminate learnings from our engagement with communities on the ground in hubs around the world. This work is relevant to our own education as well as climate education for future climate scientists and the general public. Our current project is based on our first event, a 2-part webinar series entitled "Can we do better?  Climate Science and Colonialism" which was held in October 2023, featuring 8 international scholars.  We have been collaborating with two MCR hubs (Himalayan University Consortium since early 2024 and the Walker Institute more recently) to develop the webinar recordings toward an online Educator's Guide on the intersection of climate science and colonialism.  We have now completed preliminary work for the first of seven modules and expect to be piloting the initial version in 2025.

The CliC Scientific Steering Group held its 20th meeting in Pucón, Chile alongside the 11th Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Open Science Meeting in order to sustain and improve linkages with the Antarctic Research Community. The Steering Group was provided updates from all CliC working groups and a number of partner organizations. Foci of discussion included CliC engagement in, and support for, the UN Decade for Cryosphere Science (2025-34) and International Polar Year (2032-33), ongoing and potential future CliC synthesis papers and assessments, and the finalization of the draft CliC Strategic Plan for 2025-35. As part of broader ongoing efforts to revitalize and strengthen the CliC community of scientists, the Steering Group agreed to hold a Climate and Cryosphere Open Science Conference in Wellington, NZ in 2026 in cooperation with co-sponsors which are likely to include the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) and the International Glaciology Society (IGS).
