Teaching
This team works to come up with and implement ways to advocate for course offerings on climate change and environmental sustainability, integration of these issues into a wide range of other teaching contexts, and discussion of effective teaching strategies, and organize discussions among philosophy teachers locally and at larger events such as philosophy conferences, conferences on teaching, and the APA Teaching Hub.

Climate Strike Support
This team works to help inform and organize people, including our members, to offer meaningful, appropriate support to the continually growing youth-led strikes. We help recruit and support young people and put them in touch with strike leaders, and encourage faculty to support the strikes.

Public Philosophy
This team works to undertake, and help encourage and organize others to undertake, public philosophy efforts related to climate change or sustainability more broadly, such as public lectures, neighborhood group discussions of climate change, and/or a series of written pieces in public-facing journals, newspapers, and blogs.
