The Dartmouth Climate Collaborative Advisory Council has an initial one-year charge to help coordinate the activities addressing climate and sustainability across the academic and operational spaces at Dartmouth. There are many groups on campus doing work related to climate and sustainability (Climate Futures Initiative, Irving Institute for Energy and Society, campus decarbonization, Sustainability Office, and many academic departments and centers). This committee has the unique role of stepping back and looking at the entire ecosystem of work at Dartmouth and helping find ways to elevate that work collectively. The committee has two main responsibilities:

1. Provide feedback on climate and sustainability priorities, goals and strategies at the intersection of Dartmouth's academic and operational initiatives.
2. Foster additional connections across a range of groups, both internally on campus and externally with the Upper Valley community, alumni, and businesses.
