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.
