Duke University has tackled the climate crisis by using its education and research platform to foster leadership and innovation. It has modeled responsible operations by achieving a carbon-neutral campus, woven a culture of sustainability throughout the institution, and ensured a climate-literate student body that carries this knowledge and experience forward in their lives.
Below are goals that were initially set by the Campus Sustainability Committee and the Climate Commitment Advisory Council, an advisory committee tasked with developing goals and strategies for the Climate Commitment, will provide updates to these goals in the future.
