Statements by climate scientists, social scientists, environmental ethicists, philosophers and biologists, include views that climate change and ecological degradation by human action will be the greatest challenges of our time. If we are to value these statements and their implications for the continued existence of life, then it is imperative that forward thinking universities acknowledge these challenges and put in place efforts to address them.

We are calling for the strategic plan to support ecological sustainability as an effort worth undertaking.

There are current initiatives led by faculty in research, curriculum and on-the-ground action that are responding to ecological challenges. We ask that the strategic plan support these initiatives, and present opportunities for expanding dialogue, research, curriculum and practice that can address emerging futures.
