Who we are
A student-led movement for climate literacy
Climate Education for All (CEFA) is an organization dedicated to expanding climate literacy across universities. We believe that understanding the causes and impacts of the climate emergency should not be limited to environmental degrees.
Engineers, nurses, economists, artists, lawyers: every profession will shape how we respond to the climate crisis. CEFA brings students together to make climate education part of every university experience.
