The Duke Climate Commitment Through education, research, external engagement and campus operations, the duke climate commitment seeks to imagine, design and implement a sustainable future for all. This semester, we engaged in a semester long project on climate change, framed by duke's climate commitment. students learned the science of climate change, used models to predict future change based on various scenarios, and explored their own carbon and ecological footprints with class activities.
Design Climate Explore open source materials offered by duke instructors, including an annotated syllabi bank and a variety of activities and class resources designed to enhance climate and sustainability focused learning. Here, we offer practical recommendations and resources that educators need to teach about climate change using a socioemotional, justice informed lens, with an emphasis on place based and project based approaches. When the 2024–2025 cohort of duke’s climate and sustainability teaching (cast) fellows began their work last summer, they shared a common challenge: how to bring the urgency of climate change into courses that ranged from language instruction to health sciences to political science. Now in its second year, the duke climate and sustainability teaching fellows (cast) held a weeklong workshop for 11 duke and dku faculty this spring to explore the connections between climate change and sustainable solutions, using a ‘systems thinking’ framework of examining multifaceted challenges.

To promote infusion of climate and sustainability topics across a broad range of courses campus wide, the climate and sustainability teaching fellows program launched in spring 2023. Dalapati and mcadoo created several podcast episodes for climate and health, digging into causes and impacts of climate disruptions. dalapati asked environmental scientists questions from a medical perspective, while mcadoo asked medical professionals environmental questions. Explore the comprehensive library of free teaching and learning resources on climate change from cfr education and the experts at the council on foreign relations.
