Worldwide Climate Education Week is global initiative to encourage discussion about the climate crisis and justice on campuses and in educational spaces. Kalamazoo College has participated since 2022! Join more than 40,000 students, faculty, and staff around the world in participating, and help #MakeClimateAClass. Check out the resources below! 

For Faculty and Staff:

Please join us to #MakeClimateAClass this spring! This means devoting a portion of your regular class (or work) time in your non-climate classes to a discussion of how your field contributes to the understanding of climate change, climate solutions or climate justice.

We request all climate-concerned faculty and staff on campus– from artists to philosophers to scientists– to spend 15-30 minutes on climate in their classes, meetings or events sometime during April 7-13 (Week 2). Participants are not climate experts—just climate-concerned individuals.

If you are interested or need inspiration, feel free to contact one of the faculty organizers: Binney Girdler, Darshana Udayanganie, Richard Koenig, and Elizabeth Manwell or staff organizers: Sara Stockwood and Susan Lindemann
