Climate Students Movement aims to empower students to help universities become bold climate leaders, and in that way give climate science the credibility it needs to be followed in our societies. We students are the lifeblood of universities and colleges. When organised and united, it gives us power to put pressure on them to start following their own climate science.
We invite student groups, networks and organisations to apply for membership. Together we can mobilise a global movement with a greater impact on the emissions of higher education institutions.
As a student organisation advocating for similar initiatives at a local or national level, you are also welcomed to join our global network and get to:
- Gain skills, knowledge, tools, equipments, and other resources needed to push HEIs through some of our conferences, workshops, and meetings
- Receive assistance and suggestions on setting up, developing, and expanding your organisation locally
- Be part of a global movement, increasing advocacy capacity and realising international change
- Gain exposure to groups from different parts of the world, sharing resources and adapting ideas from different groups
- Find collaboration partners through access to our network and contacts
- Find common problems and solve them together to co-create the international solution that the earth needs
- Reach a wider audience through our webpage and social media platforms

How to join?
Climate Students Movement is currently planning international events and activities through partnerships. We will be organizing a social media campaign. The main purpose of this is to rally public online forums and spaces to start more positive discussions on climate and sustainability. We want to encourage people worldwide to hold on to hope, take actions, and make changes, no matter how small. We will also provide a social media information pack.
To bring Sustainability Month to life, international events alone will not be enough. We need to have local activities and actions to reach local communities and to bring everyone along this journey. Hence, we are inviting you to join us by participating in (and organising events for) Sustainability Month.
