Dear Colleagues,
To foster the search for local solutions to tackle the global challenge of climate change it is important to raise awareness about this topic at universities and schools. This is the central aim of the "World Climate Teach-In Day", to be held in the run-up of CLIMATE 2010 on the 4th June 2010. Under the patronage of EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard*, the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences/Germany organizes this truly worldwide event in the frame of the International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP = http://www.iccip.net). University lecturers and teachers are encouraged to hold a 1-hour lecture on climate change and discuss with their students one of today’s most important topics. Pre-formatted lectures can be
downloaded free of any charges from the internet. To encourage further information exchange and networking, students can discuss the topic online with other students from all over the world in an online forum. -> Download the presentations free of charge, watch climate videos, find a climate library and many more interactive features at: www.world.climateday.net -> Watch welcoming words by our patron EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard and Achim Steiner, UNEP Director at http://www.world.climateday.net/en/patronage/1 -> Join the interactive discussion with UNEP’s Chief Scientist Dr Joseph Alcamo on 4. Juni 2010, 11-13 at: www.world.climateday.net
