The Climate Leadership Network

Aug 18, 2020

The Climate Leadership Network is comprised of colleges and universities in nearly all fifty states and the District of Columbia of the United States who are taking action on climate change and preparing students through research and education to solve the challenges of the 21st century.

Each Climate Leadership Network signatory signs (the President/Chancellor does) onto at least one formal commitment with respect to climate leadership. These commitments are a signature program of Second Nature called The Presidents’ Climate Leadership Commitments, and can include a Carbon Commitment (focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions), a Resilience Commitment (focused on climate adaptation and building community capacity), or a Climate Commitment that integrates both.
