The sources we’ve long relied on to power the global economy have inflicted astonishing costs on environmental health and human wellbeing.
Yale’s work on this challenge begins at home: the university plans to reduce campus emissions to zero no later than 2050. As part of this effort, Yale became the first university to institute an internal carbon charge.
Expanding its reach, Yale offers several clean energy-related certificate programs for professionals around the world, provides a hub of information through its Clean Energy Forum, and houses some of the world’s most groundbreaking research on energy through every department on campus, from law and architecture to engineering and public health. Together, this research is accelerating the transition to an equitable and renewable energy economy.
