The first Earth Day over 50 years ago ignited a movement to stop polluting our planet. Today, we are called to respond to the global climate crisis, with a special Earth Day 2024 focus on reducing plastics. Our scientists and experts are tackling the most pressing challenges to achieve real-world impact: food security, decarbonization, healthy water systems, climate resilient cities, disaster preparedness, and more. This Earth Day, join us in our commitment to realizing a just and sustainable future for our planet.
Science for the Planet is our short video explainer series about how Columbia Climate School scientists and scholars are trying to understand the effects of climate change and help solve the crisis.
