20 Climate Community of Practice (CoP) What is a Climate CoP? EOE professionals working together to: Achieve common outcomes; Learn from each other; and, Develop a set of effective common approaches that can be refined over time. Objective To create a climate-literate public that: Understands its vulnerabilities to a changing climate and Makes informed decisions.
