More about Climate Week
By showcasing real-world actions and impact, Baskin Engineering Climate Week aims to inspire everyone to get involved in addressing the climate crisis.
This week, faculty incorporated climate science-focused lectures into their engineering courses, linking their diverse disciplines to real-world climate solutions. We brought together faculty engaged in climate research, helping to build an ongoing community of practice with a focus on integrating climate solutions into our work.
Daily activities included interactive games, student organization demos, and opportunities to explore cutting-edge climate research to build community and learn from one another.
Baskin Engineering Climate Week united campus partners, leaders, and the community to drive meaningful change.
Engineering climate solutions
Baskin Engineering researchers are leading major projects to address climate crisis issues, including green computing, conservation genomics, more efficient greenhouses, smart power, climate-wise agricultural technology, wildfire management and more.
Empowering students to take positive action in the face of climate change
The innovative UC-wide course Bending the Curve: Climate Education for All is designed for students interested in climate change and environmental and social justice. Open to all majors, the course helps students learn practical steps for making a positive difference.
Climate Week in the classroom
Throughout Climate Week, Baskin Engineering faculty integrated climate science-focused lectures into their courses, demonstrating how a range of disciplines contribute to real-world climate solutions.
