Climate Change at Howard University

All around us, there are indications of changes in natural and physical systems. Some of these changes are slowly creeping while others moving at a rather rapid rate. Changes may be occurring in areas where most of us have the least access to: Polar regions, tropical rain forest, oceans and even Deserts. We have a responsibility to engage students of all disciplines to become aware of the changes and then to become responsible stakeholders on where we are taking the planet. This need, is especially needed at Minority serving institutes where disciplines are often very structured and in silos. What is coming will require all disciplines to be connected in some fashion. Public Policy which is often missing in many MSIs is required to grapple with the intersection of science, policy, development and sustainability.
