Pathways to Climate Action

Students identify a specific climate-related issue on their campus or in their community and gather a group of peers to form a Climate Action Team, with the long-term vision of establishing a recognized Climate Action Labs chapter.

Are you a student? Do you want to make a difference? Start a Climate Action Team to:

• Advocate for change on your campus.

• Partner with local organizations.

• Educate your peers.

• Develop innovative solutions.

• Align your initiatives with your studies: Explore opportunities to connect your climate action projects with curricular requirements, such as term papers, class projects, and research assignments.

• Collaborate with student organizations: Work through existing student organizations to amplify your impact and access resources.

Possible Initiatives:

• Campus Carbon Footprint Reduction Campaign: Organize a campaign to reduce your university's carbon emissions by advocating for renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, and sustainable transportation options.

• Community Climate Education Program: Develop and deliver workshops or presentations to educate your fellow students and local community members about climate change causes, impacts, and solutions.

• Sustainable Food Systems Project: Create a project focused on promoting sustainable food practices on campus, such as starting a community garden, reducing food waste in dining halls, or advocating for more plant-based meal options.

Entry Point: Researchers form Climate Action Teams to investigate specific climate change challenges and develop solutions, often with the goal of applying their research findings in real-world settings through Climate Action Labs.

Are you a researcher? Advance climate solutions by:

• Conducting cutting-edge research on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

• Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to address complex challenges.

• Partnering with communities and organizations to implement research findings.

• Securing funding for impactful climate research projects.

Possible Initiatives:

• Develop new climate modeling techniques: Create more accurate and high-resolution climate models to improve predictions of future climate change impacts.

• Investigate the effectiveness of carbon capture technologies: Research the feasibility and scalability of different carbon capture approaches.

• Assess the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations: Study how climate change disproportionately affects marginalized communities and develop strategies to promote climate justice.
