BOZEMAN, Mont. — Montana State University student organizers are planning to put together educational and fun activities for climate week.

Some events MSU students and the local community can look forward to are the Montana Climate Forum and a climate action festival.

A student organizer said the goal of the events is to inspire and educate students to be the change they want to see in the world.

“My goal isn’t just the action that we’re taking, but it’s to train the next generation of climate and environmental and social activists. So, putting on these events allows me to demonstrate how to socially organize people, how to create events, how to generate these ideas and these momentum in our community for positive change,” said Gracie Caldwell, MSU student organizer.

The Montana Climate Forum will feature a variety of environmental justice organizations exploring ways to take climate action. The festival will feature snacks, food, games and more.

The events will take place April 21-25.
