VIDEO: California’s Climate Shift Through Education & Policy

This episode of The Week in Sustainability covers two major climate-related developments in California. The University of California, San Diego has introduced a mandatory climate-focused course for all students, signaling the growing importance of climate education across all fields of study. The episode also explores California’s leadership in climate policy, particularly as it faces political challenges, including potential rollbacks of environmental regulations and court battles over stricter emissions standards. Both stories emphasize California's ongoing efforts to integrate climate resilience into education and policy.
