TRAILER Season 9: Green Horizons

Get ready for Season 9 of Operation Climate: Green Horizons. This season we’re focusing on big institutions like universities and government… what role do they have in the climate movement? We’ll focus on Duke University and their now one year old Climate Commitment, which aims to tackle the whole spectrum of sustainability from operations to eduction. Then, we’ll zoom out to take a look at an exciting new government-sponsored program: the American Climate Corps. Modeled off of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps, the American Climate Corps will mobilize citizens to work in sustainable industries, green energy in particular.

We can’t wait to share these episodes with you all, so make sure to stay tuned for Season 9: Green Horizons! And if you aren’t already, give us a follow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts as well as instagram at @operationclimate.
