Year of Climate Action

Climate Challenge:聽Accepted

Climate change remains, in a world crowded with problems, this generation鈥檚 defining challenge. At 17吃瓜在线 we embrace such challenges. 17吃瓜在线 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 17吃瓜在线 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 17吃瓜在线鈥檚 commitment to meaningful action on climate change. 17吃瓜在线 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. 17吃瓜在线 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.
