Climate Futures Initiative

Climate Futures Initiative

The Climate Futures Initiative (CFI) is a collaborative process to map out a vision for climate scholarship and engagement at Dartmouth. Directed by Professor Laura Ogden, the Special Advisor to the Provost on Climate and Sustainability, CFI will identify Dartmouth's distinct strengths in climate research and teaching and make recommendations to help amplify those strengths. 

 

Pilot "Campus as Lab" Scholarship Funding

The request for proposals for "campus as lab" projects has closed. Applicants can expect to receive decisions in the coming weeks. Please see the Request for Proposals for more information.

 

Climate Futures Initiative Student Suggestion Box

The Climate Futures Initiative is now accepting student feedback! We hope that student ideas and comments can help shape CFI recommendations. We have put together an Advisory Council to engage students from across campus. We also hosted a workshop on October 1st to hear students' perspectives on CFI's emerging themes. 

Fill our our survey here and have a chance to win a $25 Still North gift card!

CFI

In addition to the CFI colloquia, the Provost's Office will also provide support and funding for several CFI pilot research and community engagement projects. Further, CFI will develop opportunities to  deepen student engagement and intellectual inquiry around climate and sustainability.

The Climate Futures Initiative is a core component of the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative, one of five pillars of President Sian Leah Beilock's presidency.
