The IIASA Climate Champions initiative will begin with its first workshop on 2 October covering the topic of climate change, climate resilience, and climate justice. Almost 30 students from Vienna and Lower Austria will participate.
The students will learn from leading sustainability scientists and develop, in collaboration with teachers, parents, and fellow students, their own eco-friendly initiatives to implement at their schools.
We are looking forward to welcoming them to IIASA as our IIASA Climate Champions!
