World climate teach-in day is a more than great project for people who need the better understanding and correct knowledge in the era of climate change.

| | Dear Ying-Shih,
a good place to look for material may be UNITAR, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, try under http://www.unitar.org/environment.
I am not sure if they have the material that you are looking for, but if not, they may be able to point you in the right direction.
Best regards,

| | Dear Claire -
maybe a first step can be making your voices heard in such kind of in-formal forums like this one which allows you to reach a worldwide audience by a simple mouse-click.
Please check out also the upcoming worldwide online climate conference CLIMATE 2010 (www.climate2010.net) where you will have the opportunity to exchange your know-how and discuss interactively with researchers, policy-makers, business persons and further interested persons.
Best regards -
