25 – 27 August 2021
University campuses potentially may have high impact on climate change mitigation, as they accommodate a various number of high educated and skilled communities, who are well organised through students’ organisations, research and administrative bodies, workers unions, among others. There is an increasing number of attempts for developing university-wide strategic plans and actions to combat with climate change. Yet a limited number of initiatives have been taken to mobilise university communities as active agents to mitigate climate change. This summer school faciltates an online interactive platform, the Climate Combat Lab, which brings together students and academics to exchange and develop ideas on how to develop, test and disseminate climate change mitigation strategy and action plans for university campuses.
The programme aims to:
- Identify the drivers of climate change in the university campuses
- Identify a range of effective practices addressing climate change mitigation
- Develop a climate change mitigation strategy operationalising a new participatory model for inclusive strategies and actions plans.
