“I have seen firsthand the power of education to drive meaningful change and am excited to help financially support the Climate Across the Curriculum training at Colorado State University,” King said. “Our climate crisis is not just an environmental issue; it is an all-encompassing challenge that intersects with economics, social justice, and technology. By weaving climate science into the fabric of CSU’s diverse curricula, we are equipping our future leaders with the comprehensive understanding they need to devise effective solutions.”
The Climate Initiative is strengthening the connective tissue of CSU’s sustainability community through its Advisory Council, which offers thorough representation across campus, including SoGES, the Energy Institute, the Colorado Climate Center, the One Health Institute, the Center for Environmental Justice, AgNext, the Soil Carbon Solutions Center, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere and more.
“CSU is home to world-class researchers and educators on the topic of climate change,” said Jill Zarestky, an assistant professor in the School of Education, and also on the leadership team. “Combined with our land grant mission, we have an exciting opportunity to prepare learners of all ages and the broader Colorado community for responding to our changing planet.”
