Global Climate Strike
The University of Leicester is supporting the Global Climate Strikes 20th - 27th September by taking unprecedented action to highlight the climate emergency that we are facing.
The Global Climate Strikes, initiated by Swedish student Greta Thunberg, and the national strikes by school students in the UK are helping to make real change in this world by holding politicians to account for their lack of action on what is being called the climate crisis.
To raise awareness and show our support, the University supported staff to for a 30 minute stoppage and organised a range of activities to raise awareness about climate change and support local action.
Activities included:
- Sustainable Development Goals stall with interactive activities
- floral headdress making
- crisp packet and pen recycling collection
- test your knowledge with the How Bad are Bananas? game
- Hungry for Change allotment session
- Leicester Innovation Hub's Food Security & Resilience Copernicus Hackathon
