Climate Champions
Tackling the climate crisis requires creating climate champions of all ages—people who are educated on climate science, passionate about addressing the climate crisis, and engaged in concrete efforts to “bend the curve” of global warming. Thus, Climate Champions aims to get more teaching, learning, and action on the climate crisis in regional schools. Climate Champions was launched in the Spring of 2020 as part of a pilot project funded by the UC San Diego Social Sciences Climate Action Lab. Climate Champions leverages the university in service of K12 and community, our team brings together people from UC San Diego CREATE, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
What We Do
