UNE to host panel discussion on 'Innovation in Climate Education' featuring robust group of leaders in the industry
Human-driven climate change is a complex issue that affects every aspect of society, requiring a holistic understanding across multiple disciplines like the natural, social, and health sciences and the humanities to effectively address its causes and impacts, develop comprehensive solutions, and foster informed decision-making for future generations.
Climate change is a "wicked problem" requiring innovative solutions that involve collaboration across disciplines.
As part of its mission in preparing future leaders to address pressing societal issues like climate change, the University of New England will host a panel discussion, “Innovation in Climate Education,” on its Biddeford Campus on Tuesday, April 15, at 5 p.m. in room 283 of the Harold Alfond Forum (630 Pool St.).
The event is free and open to the public. A reception will be available beginning at 4:15 p.m.
This panel will bring together science, policy, and health experts to share insights and engage in a broad discussion regarding the needs and opportunities for holistic and innovative climate education and planetary health in academia. The event is hosted by UNE North and UNE’s College of Professional Studies, Office of Sustainability, and School of Marine and Environmental Programs.
UNE recently introduced a 100% online Master of Science in Climate Change Leadership degree program that will launch in Fall 2025. The MSCCL program, which offers concentrations in marine science, public health, or sustainable business, is designed to prepare students for meaningful careers at the forefront of climate solutions.
Fully online and accessible to learners from all academic and professional backgrounds, this 34-credit program provides the skills and interdisciplinary knowledge needed to drive impactful change.
