Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a mix of online and on-site events.will be held from October 19 to 25.
GCCW co-founder and president Dr Keith Horton from UOW's School of Humanities and Social Inquiry said there were lots of great events this year.
"One of the main ones is the panel discussion organised by the Global Challenges Program, Climate, Disaster and Mental Health on Thursday at 12.30," Dr Horton said.
The discussion will look at the connection between climate change and disaster and the impact of climate anxiety and ongoing disaster on our mental health.
Panellists will also discuss what we can do to recover, heal and build resilience.
"I'm also looking forward to the Wetland Walk and Talk with Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow Dr Jeff Kelleway on Thursday at 9.30am at Stuart Park in Wollongong, discussing the impacts of climate change on coastal wetlands, and the unique role wetlands can play in climate mitigation," he said.
"And I'm particularly pleased that the Australian Youth Climate Coalition has organised a Climate Change Film Festival on Friday, starting at 6pm on UOW's main Wollongong campus."
