The first Earth Day over 50 years ago ignited a movement to stop polluting our planet. Today, our scientists and experts are tackling the most pressing challenges to achieve real-world impact: food security, decarbonization, healthy water systems, climate resilient cities, disaster preparedness, and more. This Earth Day, with a special focus on reducing plastics, join us in our commitment to realizing a just and sustainable future for our planet.
Science for the Planet is our short video explainer series about how Columbia Climate School scientists and scholars are trying to understand the effects of climate change and help solve the crisis.
Celebrate Earth Day by having Da Vinci, an artificial intelligence engine created by OpenAI, compose a haiku on the science or nature topic of your choice!
