Columbia Climate School

Climate-related environmental and societal pressures are reshaping our world. At the Climate School, we unite experts across science, policy, business, journalism, and the arts to break down silos and spark bold ideas. Our researchers leverage data and the latest scientific knowledge to reimagine global food security, support the energy transition, and more–all while educating the leaders of the future. Invest in our planet with a gift to the Climate School Annual Fund.


Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory

Last year, you helped us weather serious threats to scientific funding and rescue critical research projects that would have otherwise been in jeopardy. Now, we ask that you help us sustain those projects. Our scientists remain committed to addressing some of society's greatest challenges, including the mysteries surrounding prolonged drought, the environmental impacts of microplastics, and rising sea levels. Provide immediate support for Lamont science by making a gift to the Lamont director's Unrestricted Research Fund.


Invest in Future Climate Leaders

Our three groundbreaking degree programs prepare the next generation of changemakers to identify the most impactful opportunities for climate action. Already, our students and alumni are using their considerable talents to help communities combat natural disasters, identify opportunities for climate-smart investing, and curb greenhouse gas emissions. By supporting our students with a gift to the Climate School Student Scholarship Fund, you support a cleaner, more just future for us all.
