The Climate & Justice Teach-In is an all-day event that gets us talking about the real questions and lived experiences we have about climate change and climate justice. It brings together students, staff, faculty, community members to learn from one another through panels, dialogue, and action. Last year we had more than 600 people join us – we hope for the same or more this year!<\/span><\/p>\n

A teach-in is an out-of-the classroom space for learning about a complex issue that is relevant to a wide group of people. Teach-ins are spaces for open dialogue, asking tough questions, and meeting others outside of disciplinary or affinity group silos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate Justice recognizes the disproportionate impacts of climate change on low-income communities and communities of color around the world, the people and places least responsible for the problem. It seeks solutions that address the root causes of climate change and in doing so, simultaneously address a broad range of social, racial, and environmental injustices.<\/em> – U of C Center for Climate Justice<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
