TAU joins forces with international universities to tackle pressing environmental challenges
On March 3rd and 4th, a joint workshop hosted at the University of Cambridge and funded by the British Council’s Wohl Clean Growth Alliance brought together experts from Tel Aviv University, the University of Cambridge, and other universities in the UK, France, Italy, and North America. The workshop explored how higher education institutions can support and promote climate change solutions.
The TAU Climate Crisis Initiative and the Lowy International School co-organized the event with Cambridge Zero (the climate change hub at the University of Cambridge) as part of an ongoing collaborative project focused on examining the impact and ethical responsibilities of universities in addressing the climate crisis.
"As institutions focused on creating and disseminating knowledge, universities can make a huge contribution to how we tackle the climate crisis, and some would say also have a moral obligation to do so."—Dr. Shula Goulden, Co-director of the TAU’s Climate Crisis Initiative and project co-organizer
As Prof. Colin Price, Head of the TAU’s Climate Crisis Initiative (PlanNet Zero) and one of the key professors in the TAU's MA in Social Policy of Climate Change, adds, "Our goal is to bring students, faculty, and administration together to develop comprehensive solutions for the climate crisis. These may involve not only new technology but also new economic models, policies, regulations, and public engagement strategies."
