Climate Action Society

Founded in 2018 by BSc Population Health student Aliza Ayaz, the UCL Climate Action Society aims to confront the complexities of climate change and discover the multitudes of ways to pursue environmental interests on campus and beyond. The society has four primary objectives: 1) To improve the education and raise awareness on student and university institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaption, impact reduction and early warning2) To integrate climate change measures into coursework, national policies, strategies and planning, supporting internships and careers3) To strengthen resilience among students, to produce adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards 4) To understand the role of governments, non-governmental organisations, international organisations, businesses, media and the world population in climate action.
