Abstract	Like other Canadians, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) members are alarmed by the existential threat that climate change represents to the world. They believe leadership from Canadian governments is crucial along with meaningful changes from institutions and individual efforts. The post-secondary education (PSE) sector has a critical role to play in mitigating and adapting to climate change through research and teaching. The majority of Canadians believe that universities and colleges will help solve climate change and 95 percent agree that research conducted at post-secondary institutions helps solve problems Canada will face over the next decades. This report discusses the following actions that need to take place to address these problems: (1) expand science and research; (2) address education inequality; and (3) close data gaps and improve access to government data.
