Alliance for Climate Education

Action for the Climate Emergency, or ACE (formerly Alliance for Climate Education) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works at the nexus of climate, civic engagement and strategic media. ACE reaches more than 36 million unique people annually in the United States with its programs.

Education & Influence
ACE provides in-person assemblies at high schools nationwide. A study by Stanford, Yale, and George Mason University showed that after viewing the live ACE Assembly, students demonstrated a 27% increase in climate science knowledge, more than one-third (38%) became more engaged on the issue of climate change, and the number of students who talked to parents or peers about climate change more than doubled.

Action
ACE youth leaders have lobbied elected officials for pro-climate policies including energy efficiency, fossil fuel divestment, and renewable energy. They have also spoken at events such as the United Nations, Bioneers, and Climate Action 2016.

Awards
Awards for ACE's work include the White House Champion of Change Award for Climate Literacy, the National Center for Science Education Friend of the Planet Award, the AQMD Award for Public Education on Air Quality Issues, the EPA Environmental Merit Award, and the Climate Change Communicator of the Year Award.
