" San Francisco State University will be the first major public university in the United States to require students to complete coursework on climate justice, not just climate change, officials announced Tuesday.

The university amended its undergraduate environmental sustainability graduation requirement to include climate change and climate justice, which means incoming students, as soon as fall 2026, will need to take a course in climate justice before they graduate.

“Our students’ lives are already being impacted by climate change, and so we think it’s part of our responsibility as a university to prepare students for that,” said Autumn Thoyre, co-director of the university’s Climate HQ, a hub to support climate-themed work on campus. " - KQED
