Culture

Temple fosters community around climate action - bringing together students, staff, faculty, and neighbors to imagine and build a more sustainable campus and city.

A truly sustainable campus culture exists when the entire campus community is engaged in education, advocacy, and action aimed at fostering sustainable change. Temple's Climate Action Plan culture goals attempt to strengthen strategic partnerships, provide leadership opportunities for students, and expand upon interdisciplinary collaborations.
