UConn’s commitment to sustainability, clean energy, and battling climate change to secure a better future here and around the world is a core value that informs many of our operational and academic decisions.
Please join President Maric, Provost Anne D’Alleva, and several key faculty and staff members on Thursday, Nov. 2, for a town hall meeting on sustainability and climate to discuss these important topics, including ways in which UConn is working toward its goals to be carbon neutral by 2030 and carbon zero by 2040, as well as to hear from leading UConn researchers in the fields of clean energy, sustainability, and the environment.
The town hall starts at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, in McHugh Hall, Room 102, on the Storrs campus. It will also be available for viewing via livestream at:
