MAP × Philosophers for Sustainability
A network of MAP organizers effecting change toward environmental sustainability, within and beyond academic philosophy.
The idea. Every chapter is encouraged to have at least one Climate Ambassador who connects local organizing to a global network focused on climate action in the profession.
What ambassadors do. Attend one virtual meeting per semester, and lead or co-lead at least one climate-related event or project each year — a sustainability workshop, a blog series, an advocacy campaign, a Climate Hub session, or something no one has thought of yet.
What it costs. Nothing. Membership in both MAP and Philosophers for Sustainability is free, and the role is designed to be sustainable, enjoyable, and career-building — put it on your CV.
