Dear all,



Please see the below student opportunity that may be of interest:



Student opportunity: deadline Sept 30th



I am pleased to share with you some information on the launch of the 2020 Global University Climate Forum<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcampuspress.yale.edu%2Fclimateforum%2F&data=02%7C01%7Caudrey.mckinnon%40strath.ac.uk%7C5add5288678d4a8a0a5508d861254363%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637366159954612200&sdata=%2FWs3LtUjzNi2JHcRRqBNnCvlt3acmwT9cTQIJFqbh8M%3D&reserved=0>.

Please do share this with your networks and anyone who may be interested in taking part!

Multidisciplinary teams of students at all levels from all parts of the world are invited to submit their ideas for climate action projects. Applications are due by midnight EST on September 30th 2020. (Exceptions to this deadline will only be made for student teams from higher education institutions that are not in session at that time.)

Accepted teams will be invited to participate in the online event series during the week of November 9.  Each participant must attend a minimum of three sessions. To ensure inclusion and accommodate time zones, sessions will be rebroadcast.

 Following the event series, student teams will be expected to update and execute their project and report on their progress over the course of six months. Reporting will start in December 2020 and end in May 2021. Teams that complete all three phases – application, workshop, implementation – will be featured in a presentation to be issued during COP26 in November 2021.



Applicants will be prompted to select a track:

·  Inspiration and Empowerment: Develop a creative approach to raising awareness on climate change and influencing others using tactics such as video, art, writing, or social media.

·  Ideas into Action: Propose a student-led climate-related project on campus or in the community that will affect measurable change over the course of six months.

·  Governance and Policy Innovation: Select a local, national, or global climate policy or governance mechanism and conduct an analysis either on how it can be improved or how your college or university can contribute to its implementation.

·  Innovation and Imagination: For project that do not fit into the other tracks, ideas in this category can be revolutionary, entrepreneurial, and creative. However, they must be actionable and should be designed to yield measurable results over the course of six months.
