European Climate Teach-In Day 2009 a Success
University lecturers and teachers from 265 institutions in more than 55 countries used the opportunity to download the climate content provided in the framework of the First European Climate Teach-In Day 2009. Over 12,000 students from universities and schools were involved in the initiative.

The organizers are pleased that this first Climate Teach-In Day has in fact reached students and staff from universities, schools and other research and education institutions well beyond the European area. A follow-up activity will be the “World Climate Teach-In Day”, to be held on Friday, the 4th June 2010.

Welcome to the Climate Teach-In Day

There is a perceived need to foster awareness about climate change in schools and universities and to engage young people and future professionals in the search for local solutions for a problem with has global dimensions. Yet, although much is written and spoken about climate change at scientific circles, little information filters through other levels. Since much can be gained by using scientific information to foster the debate on climate change at schools and universities across Europe, the "European Climate Teach-In Day" will be organized, to held on the 5th June 2009, which is also the World Environment Day, a traditional date in the world environment calendar."

The Climate Teach-In Day is over. Thank you for your participation. You can still download the presentations. Please read the news, for more information.
