In 2016, SUNY Cortland signed the Resiliency Commitment as part of Second Nature's shift to incorporate more broad community-level engagement for institutes of higher education. As SUNY Cortland has worked to incorporate these efforts, it is clear that more can be done to engage under-represented groups within the Cortland Community. A main focus for the group is poverty and economic development in respect to a changing climate. One development from this effort work is increasing access to clean and energy efficient heating systems, which can lower cost of living. This incorporates academic programs and service learning opportunities with the local community through a number of on going partnerships.
