Earth Day: Learn to Become a Climate Changemaker - 1Planet4All Launch

Looking to join the battle against the climate crisis? Whether you are an experienced climate activist or a first-time change-driver, you are in a prime position to make a lasting impact. We live on one planet—and we must fight as one to save it!

Join us for the official launch of 1Planet4All. 1Planet4All is a project by Ayuda en Acción that is part of a European Commission initiative that seeks to bring together visionary young Europeans in the fight against the climate emergency, supporting EU citizens driving change in social, economic, and environmental development issues.

IE University will be collaborating in this initiative to mobilize our students to fight the Climate Crisis. Our IE students can join this project actively by creating and participating in digital campaigns, holding conferences, and finding “out-of-the-box” solutions to fight against climate change.

In this kick-off event, we will explore interesting activities which can be developed by the student community in any university to fight the climate emergency.
