The following is a call for faculty and instructors teaching on climate related topics this winter to consider having their students participate in Solve Climate By 2030, a collaborative exercise for their students to share ideas on climate solutions:<\/p>\n

As faculty prepare their spring syllabi, please alert all of your colle<\/u>agues who care about climate, across the curriculum<\/u>, to a Homework Opportunity for their classes on\u00a0TUESDAY, APRIL 7<\/strong>. From 5-7 PM LOCAL time on that date,\u00a0The Center for Environmental Policy<\/a>\u00a0at Bard College is organizing a national event,\u00a0Solve Climate By 2030<\/a>, that seeks to engage more than 100,000 students across the country in dialog about state and local climate solutions. It will feature an hour-long webinar hosted by a\u00a0university in each state<\/i>\u00a0with climate experts talking about three ambitious but feasible things that need to happen\u00a0in your state\u00a0<\/i>soon if we are to get on track to solve climate by 2030. (See the list of university partners below) Recommendations will vary from state to state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is not just an opportunity for environmental studies professors. Across the curriculum, faculty at colleges, universities and high schools should assign viewing of the webinars live or recorded as homework, and then spend the next class discussing climate solutions.\u00a0 The challenges posed by solving climate change necessarily range across history, science, business, culture, economics, psychology, religion, government, media, journalism and the arts. The Solve Climate By 2030 website will offer disciplinary entry points for follow-up discussion to the state-level, solutions-focused webinars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are many disciplinary entry points across the curriculum:<\/p>\n
