NPS Training

Building a workforce that is literate about climate change effects and response options is fundamental to ensure that managers can address climate change as part of routine operations. The Climate Change Response Program has made it a priority to create the climate change content and tools NPS staff need to include this topic into daily work routines. The climate change training products developed to date have been the result of effective partnerships with the NPS training managers and career fields through the Learning and Development program. They have also been the result of collaborations with field staff who are leaders on this topic.
