Climate Change Action and Imagination at UMD
Community conversation, individual behaviors, and committed leaders are all essential parts of effective action to address the climate emergency. In honor of UMD acheiving a longstanding goal of carbon neutrality, the Office of Sustainability published web resources on UMD's carbon offset program, resilience, justice, emotions and research to help you engage in the work we are doing together to respond to the realities of climate change.
The University of Maryland is committed to addressing the grand challenges of today, including climate change. We accelerated and acheived our carbon neutrality commitment. These commitments and victories are milestones on UMD’s path to a more sustainable future. There is still plenty more progress to be made.
Students, staff, and faculty can take action on sustainability at UMD through a variety of programs. Staff and faculty can participate in the Sustainability Badge program. Students can apply for the SustainableUMD Ambassador program. All can follow @SustainableUMD on social media, sign up for the newsletter, and explore sustainability data on UMD's progress dashboards.
This success reflects a strong team effort by senior administrators, academic leaders, faculty, students, and dedicated staff in many units across campus. This was aided by the development of a culture of sustainability on campus that has drawn wide support and commitment.
