Columbia University is a global leader in climate and sustainability education at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Climate & Sustainability Alumni Network comprises over 4,000 professionals worldwide. The network includes graduates of the MA in Climate & Society at Columbia’s Climate School as well as from partner degree programs with the Earth Institute, which is now part of the Climate School. These programs include degrees offered and conferred by Columbia College, School of General Studies, the School of International and Public Affairs, and the School of Professional Studies, as well as the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Climate School.
The goal of the network is to provide climate and sustainability-focused professional resources and events, that complement the alumni services available through Columbia University. Through annual LinkedIn updates to the Columbia Alumni Community, regular newsletters, a mentorship program, professional networking opportunities, and social events, alumni from across Columbia’s climate and sustainability programs can better connect and network.
Columbia University’s Climate School blends research in the physical and social sciences, education, and practical solutions to help guide the world onto a path toward sustainability. The Columbia Climate School provides the scholarship needed to tackle climate change and its related challenges.
