Impact is made by being Unreasonable. “The reasonable person adapts themselves to the world; The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to themselves. Therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people.” Do you feel this statement by George Bernard Shaw? We do, as a group of Unreasonable Mentors. We believe in ensuring a just future. Now. We envision a world where our greatest leaders: →Act with integrity. →See vulnerability as a strength. →Taking action and learning > talking. →Prioritize people and planet over numbers. →Will solve humanity's most pressing challenges. Because, our world cannot wait. And neither can we. It was a connective gathering of Unreasonable Mentors and Fellows gearing up for SF Climate Week. Many thanks to Radhika Malpani and Divya Demato, for getting us together. If you're attending the event, please be in touch! cc: Adam Erickson, Arun Gupta, Anshuman Bapna, David Tze, Karen Sheffield, MBA, Kelli Richards, Murilo Johas Menezes, Joseph Luttwak, Jeff Matthews, Alexandra Manoloff, Dori Rutkevitz, Daniel Epstein, Sophie Sandham

Feedback from our Fellows means a lot to us. According to Moses Nweke, bankruptcy of sustainable knowledge can be a threat to sustainable actions. He further adds how the African Climate Leaders Fellowship Cohort 1 has enhanced his knowledge and skills in contributing to climate action and influencing sustainable decisions. #AfricanClimateLeadersFellowship #AfricanYouthInClimateAction #ACLF

☀️It's hard to believe, but summer is almost over...which means school is right around the corner. 🌻Are you a young person looking for something to strengthen your leadership skills and learn about the climate crisis? 🌎 If so, Our Youth For The Climate has an exciting opportunity for you! OY4C has created the OY4CCurriculum, an intersectional 12-topic climate curriculum built by young people for young people. 🏫 Our curriculum is free and easily accessible, so any student can integrate it into their school.

I was thinking this week about the general lack of attention to #ClimateChange amongst #HigherEd executive leaders. I suspect that many of these leaders want to do something, but the fear of being seen as an amateur around #ClimateAction and #ClimateScience keeps many of them stuck. Today, as yet another climate disaster bears down on us, is a good day to face these fears. As institutions of teaching and learning, I believe that the way forward to becoming truly #ClimateInformed institutions is to start with our faculty. My suggestion: empower your faculty. Invest in your faculty. Believe in faculty creativity. Pay your faculty for their labor. Work with faculty to shift their scopes of practice toward #ClimateActionPedagogy. Great leaders don't have to be experts on everything; they do need to celebrate and support the expertise of their team. #HigherEd is uniquely positioned to not only educate our citizens for the era of #ClimateChange, but also be role models for the entirety of society to show them that transformational change is possible. And to be clear, nothing short of radical transformations will save us. You might have folks on your team already who can lead and do this work. If not, I've put together a list of #ClimateActionPedagogy support organizations. May it be of benefit.
