Office of the Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action
The Office of the Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action was founded in 2024 as a key component of the University’s strategic framework, In Principle and Practice, which foregrounds Penn’s responsibility to provide leadership and action on the great challenges of our time. The Office reflects Penn’s already considerable presence across energy, sustainability, and climate science, bringing together scientific research and education, local and global policies, what we do ourselves, and how we model, convene, learn from, and lead others, including other universities, other economic sectors, and other nations.
