The Penn community is marking Climate Week with more than two dozen events spanning September 18-22, 2023.

Since its start in 2020, Climate Week at Penn has served to enliven campus around climate learning and action. Now in its fourth year, the week’s events come from every corner of campus, featuring a range of possibilities, from hands-on volunteer opportunities and engaging panel discussions, to lively performances and workshops. To date, more than 100 events have engaged several thousands of participants under the Climate Week umbrella, hosted by organizations across Penn.

This year’s Climate Week offers a multitude of ways to take part. Among them:

• A dean’s roundtable to discuss the impact of climate change on health and health education,
• Penn faculty and students from across the University will deliver 1.5* Minute Climate Lectures to share their perspective on extreme weather and climate events and their impacts and call for large-scale climate action,
• A film screening and discussion about a massive scientific undertaking to explore a lake beneath sea ice in Antarctica,
• A discussion of climate-driven extinction, and
• A Biodiversity Fair with opportunities to connect with organizations at Penn sharing information and interactive displays related to biodiversity and sustainability.

Many more events are planned that showcase the expertise of Penn community members from partners across campus. See the full schedule of events by visiting climateweek.provost.upenn.edu.
