Extreme heat kills more people in the U.S. than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods or any other weather-related disaster. Advocates said Indiana lawmakers need to do more to protect people from getting their fans and air conditioners shut off in the summer.

Funding opportunity for water-related research!

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

The Earth’s average temp has been more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels for the past 13 months. So have we passed the threshold the world agreed to in Paris in 2015? No. But it does highlight the urgent need for climate action.

@HASTIsci "As the future citizens & leaders of Indiana, it is crucial that students are well-informed on climate engineering. Educating them about (its) scientific, ethical, political, & economic facets ... is imperative for fostering responsible decision-making."

[IU IPE @iubipe]

As Earth's climate continues to change rapidly, more #ClimateSolutions will need to be weighed.

IPE-affiliated faculty helped launch a high school #ClimateEngineering Teaching Module.

In 15 high school classrooms, students have considered its potential, trade-offs, & risks.

[IU IPE @iubipe]

To prepare the next generation of environmental & sustainability leaders, IPE-affiliated faculty support students at every level.

Read what they learned in the first 3 years teaching Climate Engineering in Indiana classrooms in the paper @HASTIsci: https://t.co/alFoCUyiCh

Listen to IPE-affiliated professor Alcantara talk with @eartheats about her research and community work on #FoodSovereignty and #Foodways as empowerment: https://t.co/bLm7iaLws5

[IU IPE @iubipe]

“As I started to think more about theories around food, and it’s a thing that we do every day without fail, and it really shapes the way that we interact with one another, it shapes the way we interact with our environments, the ways that we create networks of relationships— ...

[IU IPE @iubipe]

... being able to name it has given it a power to be able to use it to tap into ways to think about social relationships in the present and propose alternatives.”
