Global Climate Change Week (GCCW) encourages Universities and their communities across all disciplines and countries to engage with each other, their communities, and policy makers on climate change action and solutions. This year, GCCW runs from Monday 18 October to Sunday 24 October 2021. UOW and our community partners have developed a schedule of events, activities and resources to raise awareness of climate change and drive action toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 13: Climate Action.

You can also spread awareness by using a Climate Action Zoom background during the sessions, available on the website.
