Since 2006, that focus has been addressing the largest environmental challenge that civilization has faced: global climate change. This was the launch year of the Presidents\u2019 Climate Leadership Commitments, now the longest-standing voluntary carbon reduction program in the world. From these Commitments, the Climate Leadership Network of over 400 universities and colleges was formed.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Second Nature\u2019s 2023 Strategic Plan<\/a> builds on our history of implementing a robust, network-based climate leadership strategy, using our experience to drive equitable and holistic climate solutions while embracing the diversity within the sector. This new plan represents a shift and a third phase of growth for Second Nature, viewing operational decarbonization as one milestone in a suite of climate action goals \u2014 goals that are achievable through a \u201cwhole-of-higher-education\u201d approach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Second Nature is focusing on four strategic pathways: Diversify to Unify, Generate, Champion,<\/strong> and Excel<\/strong>, to leverage the complementary strengths within the sector, build resources to advance institutional climate action, increase public visibility of higher education\u2019s role in solving climate challenges, and enhance our own practices to support our Network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
