Representatives

The Climate Consensus Network brings together representatives from university geoscience departments, professionals across various sectors, and dedicated committee representatives. Together, they recruit Climate Champions, oversee outreach activities, and assist with fundraising and grant writing. These representatives serve as vital liaisons to the larger network, fostering collaboration and ensuring that diverse voices are heard in the fight against climate change.
