The Academic Strike for Climate is a resolute and impactful movement within the broader campaign for climate and ecological emergency action. Driven by the collective power of students, educators, researchers, and academic institutions worldwide, this initiative seeks to highlight the urgent need for climate justice and catalyze transformative change in our society.

Through a synchronized and unified effort, the Academic Strike for Climate calls upon academic communities to suspend regular academic activities and engage in a period of dedicated activism and education. By taking a stand and temporarily halting academic pursuits, participants amplify their voices and demand immediate action to address the global climate crisis.

The Academic Strike for Climate is rooted in three core principles that underpin climate and ecological emergency action. First and foremost, it advocates for the swift reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and safeguard our planet’s future. Secondly, it emphasizes the importance of implementing sustainable practices and policies within academic institutions, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and responsibility. Finally, the academic strike recognizes the vital role of education in inspiring climate awareness, equipping future generations with the knowledge and tools to drive sustainable solutions.

By joining the Academic Strike for Climate, individuals and academic institutions make a powerful statement about the urgency of the climate crisis. This collective action not only raises awareness and inspires vital conversations within academic communities but also influences policy decisions and promotes engagement with wider society.

Through the Academic Strike for Climate, students, professors, researchers, and educational institutions become catalysts for change, driving forward the necessary shifts in mindset and practices needed to create a sustainable and resilient future. By harnessing the intellectual capacity and influence of academia, this movement strives to create a significant impact on climate action.
