Washington University is join- ing the University Climate Change Coalition (UC3), a network of 17 North American universities with a shared mission to combat climate change. While joining involves no finan- cial commitment, UC3 members pledge to pool their resources and share best practices so as to acceler- ate climate action. The UC3 is closely affiliated with the Climate Leadership Network, a larger cooperative with hundreds of participating universities, of which Washington University is not a member. “The core commitment is that each of the institutions is committing to be a catalyst for additional climate action within their regions,” Assistant Vice Chancellor of Sustainability Phil Valko said. Members of student group Green Action are optimistic about the University’s participation in UC3.
