The Climate Consortium is a collective of internal and external partners who are committed to identifying, creating and implementing research-based solutions to climate change. The consortium will also provide funding and engagement opportunities to Penn State faculty.

“While confronting the unparalleled challenges posed by climate change, we must seek creative solutions rooted in science, connected with communities and shaped by collaborative, cross-disciplinary efforts,” said Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi. “Climate change is an urgent concern for Pennsylvania, our nation and our world, which is why Penn State is proud to serve as a trusted ally of industry and community partners who are committed to making an impact and finding solutions. The establishment of the Penn State Climate Consortium underscores our resolute dedication to addressing the imminent threats we face.”
