Solve Climate By 2030 <http://www.solveclimateby2030.org/> is mobilizing US
and international educators to engage over 100,000 students in dialog about
ambitious action to stabilize the climate. It culminates on the evening of
April 7, 2021, with 100+ simultaneous, university-hosted webinars, one in
fifty countries worldwide, and every US state, and in DC and Puerto Rico.
These dialogs will reveal ambitious things that need doing in Ghana and
Germany, Vietnam and Columbia, Kyrgyzstan and Australia, if we really aim
to stop climate change. Across the world, students can ask their teachers
to #makeclimateaclass,
<https://www.bard.edu/cep/solardominance/take-action/#class> by assigning
their regional webinar as homework, and then using our course-specific
guides to talking about climate change in courses on art, biology,
philosophy, music, engineering or language and many other subjects.
