Did you know? ​A large component of Earth Day is increasing environmental and climate knowledge, especially amongst children. The NIH Earth Day is often paired with the NIH Take Your Child to Work Day to emphasize climate knowledge to the children of NIH staff. To learn more about climate literacy​ at the NIH​, please visit the NEMS Training webpage to view a short (20 minute) NIH environmental awareness training video.
