Sustainability
Taking care of our planet is our shared responsibility, and your college experience could play a key role in tackling global climate change.
At Penn, our students are all about making a positive impact and taking advantage of opportunities offered to help create a more sustainable future. Through initiatives like our Climate and Sustainability Action Plan, environment related courses, and campus-wide efforts, our community works hand-in-hand to promote a sustainable culture. Together, we make a meaningful difference in addressing today's environmental challenges.
