Campuses for Climate Solutions Action Research Network (CCSARN) is a proposal to substantially increase the quantity and quality of higher education activity in confronting Climate Crises and the solutions increasingly needed. CCSARN is not an untried approach, with a 3-year precedent at Penn State University, joined in the past 2 years with a similar program at Georgia Tech University. Several other related networks are either in process or already being explored as well, several of which presented at the 2021 CES Summit Climate Session organized by the author of this proposal.

|Learning outcomes:

This session will allow attendees to:

• Understand the importance of community engagement in climate crisis
• Connect with others around this issue
