> Dear all,
> Global Climate Change Week (http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/ <http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/>) is a new initiative designed to encourage academics in all disciplines and countries to engage with their students and communities on climate change. During Global Climate Change Week academics will alter their programs to coordinate their teaching on some aspect of climate change. They will also organise various other activities focused on awareness-raising, behaviour change and political transformation in relation to climate policy, with the participation of NGOs, the community and not-for-profit sector.
> Many academics have already done a great job at engaging with their students and communities on climate change. Unfortunately, though, more work is needed, and so Global Climate Change Week aims to encourage more academics to play their part. It will run from October 19-25 this year in the lead-up to the UN Conference of the Parties meeting in Paris in December. This will be the first time that academics from across academia and around the world have united to create such an event.
> 123 academics from 27 countries, 6 continents, and a very wide range of disciplines have already registered (see http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/gccw-map/ <http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/gccw-map/>). The organisers urge more academics to do so (at http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/register-your-interest/ <http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/register-your-interest/>). And please help to spread the word about Global Climate Change Week.
> Please contact Keith Horton (at khorton at uow.edu.au <mailto:khorton at uow.edu.au>) if you have any questions or suggestions.
