Communicate climate change

Do you think we need to do more to tackle climate change? Find out what this project is all about below, and join the team of students working to make a difference at City and in the local community!

 

What is it and why is it important?

Climate change is moving faster than ever and we are facing a direct existential threat. But what should City do about it? Should we be changing our entire language so that we refer to it as a “climate crisis” rather than just “climate change”? Should we declare a climate emergency? Should we be teaching more about it, talking more about, doing more about it?

 

What could you do?

  • Start a student climate action movement
  • Work with the SU and student media to change the way we talk and teach climate change
  • Organise an event, talk, workshop or exhibition on climate justice
  • Campaign for City to declare a climate emergency 

What’s involved?

Regular team meetings at a time that suits you – we suggest an average of 1 hour per week – plus completing the plans that you put in place.

 

What will you get out of it?

  • Make a difference
  • Meet like-minded students
  • Gain skills in project management, creative communications, negotiation and persuasion, campaign planning, team work.
