As part of its ongoing Climate Commitment, Duke University is joining a public/private partnership to build and operate an international center for climate research and teaching on Governors Island in New York Harbor.

A new study by researchers at Penn State University, Duke University, and the University of Saskatchewan suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will thrive under climate change. Some could decline. And that could have far-reaching implications for agriculture, forestry, and conservation.

In a world dragging its heels in facing the existential crisis of climate change, Drew Shindell is leading the way toward consensus. It starts with cow burps.

“The benefits of performative activism certainly outweighs the minimal damages of destroying a century-old, 7,000 acre forest that is essential to learning at Duke,” said Ronnie Stealmoney, head of the Climate Commitment.&nbsp&#x3B;

President Vincent Price gave his annual address to Duke faculty at Academic Council's March meeting, speaking about successes the University has seen over the past year and his vision for its future.

Climate+ was created in collaboration with the Rhodes Information Initiative in 2022 as an offshoot of Data+.&nbsp&#x3B;

“The need for reliable clean energy that offshore wind can produce has never been greater,” Gov. Roy Cooper said.

The Rhodes Information Initiative at Duke (Rhodes iiD), in partnership with the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability is now accepting student applications for this summer’s Climate+ projects. Climate+ is a vertical within Rhodes iiD’s Data+ program, a full-time, ten-week summer research experience for Duke students of all class years and majors.
