Education Coalition Summary

In 2022, University of Colorado Boulder announced the launch of a worldwide education coalition in support of the inaugural Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, with the goal to broaden understanding of the human rights impacts of a changing global climate and galvanize people to take action.

We are grateful to the members of the Right Here, Right Now Education Coalition for helping spread the word about the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit and for encouraging engagement with the summit among their affiliated institutions.

Collectively, the coalition members represents thousands of educational institutions and related entities around the world—each an example of the important role education plays in understanding and addressing the human rights impacts of a changing global climate.

 

“Climate change is already having impacts that stretch far beyond the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. We want to give students of all ages a chance to learn and share their experiences through this event in classrooms and communities across the globe—which will, at the same time, help us to lower our own carbon footprint for the summit.”
