Goals of Mission Zero
We are looking to foster student-led climate action at Universities & Colleges.
We aim to empower the next generation of leaders to tackle climate change action.
We believe that each and every student should graduate with a solid understanding of climate change.
We aim to be the nucleus of Climate Action at CU Boulder and use that as a model to expand to other Universities.
Instill hope and optimism to the next generation that climate change may be solved.
Minimize the devastation brought on by climate change.
