#MakeClimateAClass |
As you plan your spring courses, the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice encourages all climate-concerned educators, not just climate specialists, to talk about climate in their classes from their own disciplinary perspective. Their suggested model is for a 30-minute carve out during the last week of March.
Faculty interested in featuring others at IU working on climate-related topics can check out IPE's faculty affiliate site for ideas and contact information. |

Indiana cities and towns face barriers to take advantage of federal climate and resilience funding |
