Climate Action Plan 3.0
The University of Maryland is excited to unveil the 3rd iteration of it's ongoing commitment to addressing climate change on our own campus, celebrating Climate Action Plan 3.0 during Campus Sustainability Month. This plan emphasizes the importance of community engagement, individual action, and leadership in tackling the climate emergency. The updated technical plan, which will be available later this fall, outlines strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and integrates climate action with sustainable development to create synergistic benefits.
To celebrate Campus Sustainability Month and recognize the dynamic thinking, imagining and doing taking place at UMD, the Office of Sustainability has created new resources on climate resilience, justice, emotions and research to help you engage in the work we are doing together to respond to the realities of climate change and how we can address societal inequities through a just transition.
