How the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Climate Action Network Began:

"Culture Change for Climate Change" (CC4CC) was funded through a strategic investment by the University's Office of the Provost in 2020. One of eight campus-based "Seed" ideas, the primary goal of CC4CC was to harmonize and scale climate action at and by ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.

We are still striving to build connections and collaborations across campus and with our neighboring communities.  

This collaborative project identified several work paths, including: 

  1. Research: Led by Professors and , and Professor of Physics , the research component of this effort is creating focus groups to establish the baseline of climate change attitudes and perspectives within ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and surrounding neighborhoods. Data will be analyzed to identify themes with which to articulate patterns and values on climate change, which will be used to inform longer-term actions.
  2. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Climate Action Network: There are many climate change action and sustainability events happening across campus and with our communities.  The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Climate Action Network is working to provide the structure to connect interest with action, increase participation, amplify and connect actions and opportunities, and seed new actions.
