A Climate and Sustainability Resource Hub
The resources curated on this page aim to support educators across all academic disciplines in integrating climate and sustainability-focused learning into their courses and co-curricular offerings at Duke University.
Duke instructors from the Climate and Sustainability Teaching Fellows Program initiated this resource hub as a way to support colleagues on campus in redesigning their own classes to meaningfully engage these topics in support of the Duke Climate Commitment and in alignment with Duke's Climate and Sustainability Fluency Framework.
