ACE has created a SoCal Strong Social Toolkit to help raise awareness and support those affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Climate change is fueling more intense heat, dryness, and extreme fire conditions, leaving communities—especially those with fewer resources—facing the immense burden of rebuilding.
Now more than ever, it’s crucial to support those impacted and highlight the connection between climate change and worsening wildfires. The toolkit includes powerful content from ACE’s Creator Collective to help spark conversations and drive action.

Researchers from the University of Northern Colorado are conducting a study to refine the definition of climate change acceptance among undergraduate science students.
They are seeking experts in biology, chemistry, and geosciences to participate in a short survey to provide feedback on key concepts and dimensions of climate change acceptance.
The survey takes 10 to 20 minutes and will help shape a more comprehensive understanding of how students engage with climate science. Even if you haven’t participated in previous rounds of the study, your input is valuable.
