Urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and speed the global shift to renewables. Urgent action to halt the Trump Administration’s radical fossil fuel agenda. Urgent action to make world leaders strengthen and honor their Paris Agreement commitments.

Several students, staff, faculty and alumni have trained with Vice-President Al Gore and we want to invite you to step into climate leadership with us! Student Emily Pachoud and Alumna Harriet Harvey-Horn share ideas about this world-wide movement.
