Here's what's happening this week in Sustainability!
Last week on Earth Day, the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative launched, seeking to connect, strengthen, and leverage Dartmouth’s existing work on climate and sustainability – beginning with a $500 million investment in campus decarbonization.
We at Dartmouth Sustainability were so grateful to gather with many members of our community – YOU! – to celebrate all the many hands who have helped make this moment possible. You can catch the livestream of our dinner featuring updates from Director of Sustainability Rosi Kerr and Special Advisor to the Provost on Climate and Sustainability Laura Ogden, plus talks from Professors Erich Osterberg and Bruce Duthu, Kate Yeo '25, and Solange Acosta-Rodríguez, here.

WEEKLY FEATURE
So much of our media is mired in gloom and doom–and don't get us wrong, there's a lot to be wary of when it comes to our fight for a just, livable future in the face of intensifying injustices and climate change. But, there's also SO much good work being done, too, that rarely gets highlighted, and we're here to begin to change that.
On Earth Day, President Beilock announced the long-awaited Dartmouth Climate Collaborative, including an investment of more than $500 million into campus decarbonization over the next five years. Alongside major infrastructure updates, the plan also supports research and teaching, views Dartmouth's campus as a "living lab" with unique potential to drive climate-related innovation, and includes an interdisciplinary advisory council. The announcement video is available on YouTube.
At Tuesday's Celebrating Dartmouth's Climate Commitment Dinner, students and faculty spoke about the importance of connecting with others to pursue climate action. Watch their amazing talks here!
If you've got a climate win or sustainability star you're excited about, big or small, email us at sustainable.dartmouth@dartmouth.edu, and we'll include it in next week's newsletter! According to the IPCC, every action that prevents further degrees of global warming, no matter what scale, is meaningful.
