Supporting sustainability initiatives through biometeorology education and training

This article, published in a special issue of the International Journal of Biometeorology commemorating the Society’s 60th anniversary, was the result of a Summer 2016 SNP Workshop entitled “Enhancing the Teaching and Learning of Biometeorology in Higher Education.” In it, 13 SNP members discuss what steps should be taken in order to educate the biometeorologists of the future. A strict biometeorology focus in curriculum is still not prevalent in higher education and students must take from a mixture of learning experiences to formulate the knowledge needed to work on biometeorological problems. Future frameworks of knowledge dissemination are discussed through the lens of solving some of the problems outlined in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
