At the direction of President Lee Bollinger and under the leadership of Alex Halliday, Director of the Earth Institute, Columbia University has embarked on a critical mission to make a timely and forceful impact on the climate crisis by establishing the Columbia Climate School, the first new school in 25 years at the University.

Already a world leader, Columbia is establishing this school to marshal its powerful assets in climate research and applied climate and Earth sciences to confront the myriad challenges of climate change. By establishing this first-of-its-kind school, the university will accelerate progress, nurture the most talented research community anywhere, launch innovative education programs, and forge new solutions.
