Climate Emergency Committee

The CEC is a group of undergraduate and graduate students as well as professors from Concordia University that have come together to take action against the global emergency that is climate change.

 

The purpose of the Climate Emergency Committee is to pursue the following three objectives:

1. Increase awareness and understanding in Quebec of the growing global climate crisis through education;
2. Develop, propose, and encourage Geography, Planning and Environment department policies to tackle climate change;
3. To inform and collaborate with interested parties about ways to reduce environmental impacts (greenhouse gases, plastics, impacts related to food, etc.).   

Join us, all departments are welcome!  

• brainstorm ideas for projects
• build meaningful relationships with like-minded individuals
• make impactful changes

Inspired by the momentum generated by youth around the world, protesting their governments’ insufficient progress towards meeting the Paris Agreement targets, we pledge to dedicate our efforts towards developing and implementing solutions to the climate crisis and to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, we pledge to reduce our individual as well as collective impact on the environment, and urge all departments, both within our institution and at other universities, to join us in promoting proactive climate change research and action.
