由于气候变化，极端天气事件越来越频繁，给世界人口带来严重风险。在采取战略应对这些气候挑战的行为者中，大学正在其业务以及教学、研究和外联方面采取行动，在这一过程中发挥着吸引学生参与的关键作用。尽管一些研究已经涵盖了这些举措，但还需要进一步调查，以了解大学内部需要做出哪些改变，以最大限度地发挥其在气候行动中的作用。因此，本文旨在描述学术界对气候变化学习和参与的期望以及与此过程相关的挑战，并介绍了巴西帕索丰多大学的案例研究。该方法是基于定性数据收集，通过半结构化的访谈与学生和一个焦点小组与教授和管理人员对他们的看法，学习和参与机会对气候变化。结果表明，学术界建立了对气候变化学习和参与的兴趣，尽管大学还没有将这一主题制度化，这表明了采取行动的机会。还讨论了挑战和潜在的解决方案，这也可能支持其他大学。
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change, representing severe risks to the world population. Among the actors applying strategies to fight these climate challenges, universities are implementing actions in their operations and in teaching, research and outreach, with the key role of engaging students during this process. Although some studies have been covering these initiatives, further investigation is needed to understand the changes required within the university to maximize its role in climate action. Thus, this paper aims to describe the academic community's expectations about climate change learning and engagement and the challenges associated with this process, presenting a case study at University of Passo Fundo, Brazil. The methodology is based on qualitative data collection through semi-structured interviews with students and a focus group with professors and managers on their perceptions on learning and engagement opportunities on climate change. The results showed that the academic community established interests on climate change learning and engagement, even though the university does not yet have this theme institutionalised, demonstrating an opportunity for action. Challenges and potential solutions are also discussed, which may also support other universities.
