Happy summer everyone. Below please find a message about Global Climate Change Week from the coordinator at the University of Wollongong in Australia, Keith Horton. We're organizing events related to climate geoengineering at UC-Berkeley and American and hope some of you will also participate at your institutions. Please direct any inquiries to Dr. Horton, whose contact information is included at the end of this message. wil

During Global Climate Change Week academics will alter their programs to coordinate their teaching on some aspect of climate change. They will also organise various other activities focused on awareness-raising, behaviour change and political transformation in relation to climate policy, with the participation of NGOs, the community and not-for-profit sector. Many academics have already done a great job at engaging with their students and communities on climate change. Unfortunately, though, more work is needed, and so Global Climate Change Week aims to encourage more academics to play their part. It will run from October 19-25 this year in the lead-up to the UN Conference of the Parties meeting in Paris in December. This will be the first time that academics from across academia and around the world have united to create such an event. 123 academics from 27 countries, 6 continents, and a very wide range of disciplines have already registered (see http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/gccw-map/). The organisers urge more academics to do so (at http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/register-your-interest/). And please help to spread the word about Global Climate Change Week. Please contact Keith Horton (at [email protected]) if you have any questions or suggestions.
