CMMAP educates and trains a diverse population in climate and Earth System Science by enhancing teaching and learning at
all educational levels, disseminating science results through multiple media, engaging stakeholders and policymakers, and
improving science pedagogy.

CMMAP activities work to increase the number of women, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with disabilities in
climate science by aggressively recruiting these groups as CMMAP graduate students and staff members, helping them become
excellent scientists and educators, and placing them in leadership positions. CMMAP strives to enhance the science and
engineering pipeline through mentoring and recruiting at earlier academic levels, and study diversity problems, solutions
and disseminate results.
