Explore climate action at Barnard through our three main areas of focus:
Academics
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
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
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.
Building a sustainable campus requires a healthy, inclusive community. Community resources on campus include Well-Woman 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!
