The world’s top climate scientists have told us we have a 10-year window to make rapid reductions in the carbon pollution causing global warming in order to hold the warming to the low end of under 3 degrees Fahrenheit. If we don’t, we will severely destabilize the global climate, leading to extreme weather, droughts, floods and sea-level rise that will be increasingly hard for humans to manage.

Solve Climate By 2030

Solve Climate By 2030 is a coordinated climate education initiative across OSUN and beyond. It organizes educators to dedicate the first Wednesday of April each year during the 2020s as a day for global, coordinated education on climate solutions. The project creates and promotes templates for educational initiatives, highlighting ambitious local and regional climate solutions, and ways in which students and other citizens can engage with communities to support these solutions. In addition, Solve Climate is preparing an online practicum course, Social Media for Climate Activism, for students at all OSUN institutions. The course will explore the theory and practice of social media, with student projects undertaken in support of building engagement with Solve Climate.
