Wow, you have achieved something great together! Once your tangible education for climate output passes the following co-validation requirements, it becomes part of the knowledge library. Let’s test together!
What will be evaluated?
Well-defined structural elements
Accessible abstract – max 250 words + 5 keywords
includes learning outcomes/ action goals
lists target audiences
mentions content language
includes correct references
data/ information/ process is replicable/ reproducible*
provides all necessary material in one

Well-shaped process elements
How easy, well and flexible to teach, apply, adapt, use in different contexts and take action on is the outcome?
How much interactivity and participatory elements does it foresee? Are they well described?
How well is the story about the education for sustainability action told to motivate content usage?
This will be compiled into and overall recommendation
| strong | very well justified | actionable without reservation |
| reliable | generally justified | actionable with limitations |
| potentially informative | not strongly justified, but may yield insights | not actionable, unless the weaknesses are clearly understood and there is way to further support/ improve it |
| not informative | not substantially justified | not actionable |
| misleading | not at all justified | misguiding |
How will it be evaluated?
In the framework of an extended peer community, Education for Climate peer reviewers act as either subject, practice, or experience matter experts to ensure the quality of participatory challenge outcomes. about
The pool of reviewers is to be consulted by the challenge facilitators when being at the stage of co-validating the participatory challenge outcome to select and reach out to potential co-validators fitting the participatory challenge scope from various perspectives.
The Education for Climate Secretariat will
co-confirm that these choices are neutral – i.e. no reviewers from within the participatory challenge – and apt
support potential additional reviewers (like an aspired call for scientists)
coordinate an agreeable review deadline with all involved
It is an open review: reviews will be directly posted in the participatory challenge by assigned reviewers under ‘co-validation review’ topic
The Education for Climate Secretariate will collate and review these co-validations and will confirm in the challenge group if the content moves to the knowledge library.
As challenge facilitator make sure to celebrate your challenge group effort:
update everybody
meet to see if there is hunger for more action
