The Greatest Challenge of Our Generation: Tackling Climate Change in the Era of Disinformation

Course Description

Climate change isn’t just a future problem — it’s shaping our world right now. From record-breaking wildfires and floods to viral misinformation on social media, the challenge of our time is not only environmental but informational. The next generation — your generation — has the creativity, tech-savvy, and determination to drive real change.
This hands-on, interactive course invites students to explore how facts, media, and action intersect in the fight against climate change. You’ll dive into how climate change works, how false information spreads, and how to use communication, science, and advocacy to make an impact in your community and beyond.
By the end of the week, you and your classmates will co-design your own “Future-Ready Climate Action Plan” — a blueprint for tackling the climate and information crises together.
