Explore climate action at Barnard through our three main areas of focus:
Academics
Climate and sustainability in our coursework, faculty research, and beyond
Barnard’s coursework and research engage with sustainability from all angles, from climate science and renewable technologies to environmental justice and social and cultural interpretations of the environment.
Finance & Governance
Leading the Change & Building Resilience
Barnard is committed to incorporating climate action and sustainability into its decision-making, from strategic planning to student involvement in creating campus sustainability policies.
Campus Culture & Operations
Barnard is committed to lowering our emissions
This commitment includes both operational changes, in our energy usage and our waste production, as well as social and cultural changes.
It’s All Connected
In order to support changes for a healthy environment, we must be taking care of ourselves — eating well, staying active, and supporting our mental health.
Diverse & Inclusive Community
Building a sustainable campus requires a healthy, inclusive community. Community resources on campus include The Wellness Spot and Residential Life.
In order to feel well, as an individual or community, we need a healthy, sustainable environment. Join us in sustainable initiatives on campus!
