Climate action | ODS Unileon | Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible

Climate change is affecting all countries on all continents. It is disrupting national economies and affecting different lives. Weather systems are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more extreme.
The universities must carry out activities for climate action, in the case of the ULE these initiatives are promoted from the green office. These initiatives are aimed at introducing climate change as a primary issue in the policies, strategies and plans of countries, companies and civil society, improving the response.
