Climate Change Hub
The Climate Hub was founded in 2021 to foster greater collaboration across campus and with off-campus partners and to elevate the status of the University as a climate leader. Climate change is a whole-of-University and whole-of-society issue, and the Hub reflects our mission to develop creative, ambitious, and holistic solutions.
Leadership
The Gerard J. Mangone Climate Change Science and Policy Hub promotes collaboration and brings together students, faculty, stakeholders and specialists to position the University of Delaware as a national leader in climate change education, research and innovation. Together we discover and implement solutions for a more sustainable tomorrow.
