Climate 101

Incubating at @RCA_SD we want to embed climate change into every degree course in the world.

[Dr. Kim Cobb @bsky.app/kimcobb @coralsncaves]

Welcome to the 21st century. I’ll be adding a “Climate Change Litigation” section to my course syllabus this year.

Our new report with Wolff Olins has just come out - the role of brand in the climate crisis - a must read for business leaders. Seven principles for creating a successful sustainable brand. https://t.co/loJjkxhIac

"Universities weren't set up to make people rich. It is time for the FT to turn away from the obsession with money as a marker of human wellbeing ... florists report substantially higher life satisfaction than economists" Nice letter in FT

Really exciting things happening @UtrechtUni - great to meet you all virtually today and looking forward to hearing your progress!

[Sven Borghart @BorghartSven]

Led a fantastic meeting this afternoon with Joshua Nooij on launching an online course for @climate101net. Multidisc. educ. for @UtrechtUni + others will show relevance of sustainability for f. of study outside the 'sust. bubble'. Great things ahead! @sanli thanks for your help!

Yes She Can!

[Environmental Society @enviromentalsoc]

Did you that our @enviromentalsoc President Dain is running for @UniWestminster @WestminsterSU President? Vote for her if you believe in a sustainable future for YOU!

[Mine Islar @MineIslar]

Yep, we also have more women in our master programme on environmental science. #LUMES https://t.co/xrLNmdxIOL

[Dave Barker @WoodlandDave]

FAB news from @KneppCastle/@KneppSafaris with tdys announcement that @NaturalEngland has granted their application to release #Beavers into an 'enclosed area' at #Knepp. We now need @DefraGovUK to green-light their wider acceptance back to the land 🤔https://t.co/flAtSGZ9H4

[Dr. Kim Cobb @bsky.app/kimcobb @coralsncaves]

I taught sources and sinks of greenhouse gases today. Afterwards one student said that they had learned more in that 60min lecture than any other lecture at Georgia Tech!
They crave this content. It is meeting a pressing need.
This is a great sign, y'all. #educatingforchange

[Sustainable Imperial @Sustainable_ICL]

Check out the activities planned for Greening Imperial Week organised by @icunion - 10-14 Feb, with themed days around food, travel, waste, energy, and lifestyle. Timetable here: https://t.co/AhHPcOcBPg and Facebook event here: https://t.co/quMV4G2mM1

Apart from the Earth Sciences, Economics and Fashion seem to be leading the way in climate education at university.

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

Is economics education changing?... Today at the University of Manchester, the 1st macroeconomics lecture for 1st year students included this - kudos to the prof. But is this a passing moment for 'heterodox' thinking, or the start of a new paradigm? @rethinkecon @PostCrashEcon

[Climate 101 @climate101net]

Please let us know if you spot degree courses in engineering being marketed as "green".

We want to celebrate examples of best practice and encourage those who aren't teaching climate change for engineers to introduce new modules.

[Climate 101 @climate101net]

Sounds great! However, your website lists 29 modules for a degree in mechanical engineering and not one of them covers climate change. Are we missing something? Are you missing something?

My first ever podcast chatting with @AmyVBenstead about #fastfashion #sustainablefashion is also the first @UoMSciEng podcast of the new year and decade 🌟💚🤓#ComingSoon

[Dan O'Neill @DrDanONeill]

I think US treasury secretary @stevenmnuchin1 -- not @GretaThunberg -- should study Economics. We've got a great MSc programme in Ecological Economics that he could do: https://t.co/t90kT1pEfo https://t.co/HxkVNNml03

[Rewilding Britain @RewildingB]

We welcome the CCC's call to release 22% of land out of agricultural production for long-term carbon draw-down. But #rewilding + the large-scale natural regen of woodland + other ecosystems are absent. Why? Our report demonstrates their vital contribution.

[Climate 101 @climate101net]

Thanks to @EnvironmentDave and @payo for telling the #landscapeinnovation conference about Climate101. It is inspiring that organisations like @SussexWildlife and @SussexUni can bring such a great community together to make things happen.

[Dr. Kim Cobb @bsky.app/kimcobb @coralsncaves]

If only I had something like this when I was a student! A great resource.

[Mary Harrington @moveincircles]

I struggle to think of a book I've read in the last decade that challenged my assumptions about the world more fundamentally than @ProfTimJackson's Prosperity Without Growth. I wrote about it for @unherd's Books of the Decade: https://t.co/rvlKS85DJI

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Understanding is more important than memorization!
Schools should teach the students how to understand, think, doubt, and question. They should be made open to imagination and creativity. 🧠

Happy Holidays! Here are some tips on how to be green this holiday season!💚🎄#SustainableChristmas #WeAreWestminster @Change4GoodUoW
