Climate Year
A brief description of the institution’s featured program, initiative, or accomplishment:
Climate change is an urgent global crisis that calls on people and institutions across the globe to act collectively to address it. Recognizing this urgency, students, faculty and professional staff from across Drexel University and the Academy of Natural Sciences are coming together to make 2021 our Climate Year. This year, we are celebrating, supporting and cataloging our ongoing climate work happening at all levels of the University as well as launching new initiatives to make combating climate change central to our institutional practices, curriculum, research and civic engagement. Climate Year is focused on five key goals:
Strengthen our institutional climate commitment.
Promote climate and sustainability-focused courses and experiential learning opportunities.
Inspire applied climate-focused research, civic engagement and collaboration.
Engage the community through public-facing climate and sustainability programming.
Take inventory, coordinate and track climate work happening at all levels of the University.
Climate Year is our opportunity to learn and do something about issues like the unequal burdens of climate change on vulnerable communities, habitat and species loss, public health impacts of a warming climate, the economic risks of inaction and more.
