Year of Climate Action
Climate Challenge:Â Accepted
Climate change remains, in a world crowded with problems, this generation’s defining challenge. At Â鶹ÊÓƵ we embrace such challenges. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to being a world leader in sustainability education, campus action, and knowledge production.
The 2022 Year of Climate Action will be designed to catapult Â鶹ÊÓƵ to new levels of self-reflection, outreach, and engagement with climate change as an issue and with the communities that climate change touches.
The year will be based around programming and activities designed to strengthen and showcase Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s commitment to meaningful action on climate change. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is already deeply committed to and engaged with climate action. The year of climate action, to catalyze a changing of hearts on our campus and within the communities with which we work, will take advantage of historic and contemporary strengths in social activism and community-oriented research. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is also uniquely positioned for innovation at the intersections between and among the arts, science, and policy, inflected by a clear headed focus on justice and equity considerations.
