Higher education institutions are powerful catalysts for equitable climate action. Second Nature helps campuses shape, respond to, and implement climate policy at the federal and state levels, especially during pivotal moments for clean energy and public investments.
As a result of new technologies, financial pressures, growing student activism, and shifts in federal and state climate policies, campus climate and sustainability efforts continue to evolve.
Join Second Nature and the American Council on Education (ACE) in a new series of webinars—Charting Opportunities and Challenges in Higher Education’s Climate Action Journey—tailored to help campus leaders, sustainability staff, and climate advocates anticipate challenges and identify opportunities to lead in this rapidly shifting policy landscape.
In July 2024, Second Nature began bridging the gap between higher education institutions and the Inflation Reduction Act’s potential for accelerating clean energy. After months of feedback and engagement, we launched the IRA Community of Practice in November 2024.
Our synthesis of these efforts led to the creation of the Inflation Reduction Act Community of Practice. Click here to learn more about our work directly on the IRA.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created historic opportunities for higher education institutions to lead the clean energy transition. Now, with political headwinds threatening implementation and funding, it’s more important than ever that colleges and universities speak up, stand together, and show what works.
