is currently undertaking a study, leading to a paper titled "SDG13 and Climate Action: What are universities doing?". This will be submitted to a high-quality journal.

The research will shed some light on the contribution of higher education institutions to SDG13 on a  global level,
identify the problems associated with it, and suggest some measures which may be deployed, in order to catalyse a greater
engagement of HEIs in the implementation of SDG13.
We herewith invite suitably-qualified colleagues to contribute to the research and be co-authors of the paper.
Expressions of interest to contribute to the study and to the paper, consisting of 200 words 
outlining the experience on the topic, should be sent to the Project Team at: [log in to unmask]

Further details will be shared with the selected authors.
