Progress and reporting

On our first day, the campus community joined our outreach campaign to announce 30 separate initiatives to accelerate climate action and confront climate injustice. Wow. Read our first progress report, review our policies, and track our projected impact.

Thank you for helping us pull off Friday’s live action!

A steady stream of students, faculty, staff, and friends dropped by to pitch in to our action on Stand up For Science Day. They amplified our outreach campaign by posting announcements far and wide. Thank you, friends. Take heed, Cornell!

Our projected impact

This fictional chart projects how Cornell's climate ambition will skyrocket as people like you are reached by this action and join the effort. Our modeled projection assumes that Cornell leadership's ambition scales linearly with stakeholders' engagement in holding them accountable to our shared climate goals.
