Higher education plays a crucial role in tackling climate change. The academic leaders, researchers, and advocates across our diverse membership are driving change for communities big and small.
Our members’ voices matter. That is why, at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), we are working to connect our members with a range of international COP-related activities across the globe. We are proud to support and encourage our members to reinforce and demonstrate their commitments to climate action – both on campus and beyond.
If you work, teach, or study at a university, there are many ways you can get involved with COP and demonstrate your commitment to climate action. Current opportunities within and outside the ACU are displayed in the sections below. This page will be updated on a rolling basis, so be sure to check back regularly for the latest updates.
