Climate Heroes: Transforming the Built Environment
Too many UArizona students express hopelessness about climate change—one of the most daunting and important grand challenges of our time. But we have cause for optimism: innovation in the built environment has the potential to reduce nearly half of achievable carbon reductions by 2050. Using tools from Legitimation Code Theory, this CUES project ties in-depth knowledge of the realities of climate change to built environment solutions, present and future. Students are matched with diverse expert mentors to become active participants in transforming the daily reality of our built environment, core to the mission of our land grant university. Aiming to build students’ agency to address indeterminate problems, and guided by UArizona leadership in environmental education, this project contributes to UArizona’s learning experience and related scholarship, enhancing our contributions to a climate-positive future.
