Description

Campus Compact's Campus Climate Action Corps (CCAC) Program launched in 2023 with 14 campuses in 9 states. In this session, we will highlight impacts made on these campus “host sites” and in surrounding areas to address climate change through campus-community partnerships. The CCAC Program model has 3 key areas of focus related to climate mitigation efforts: energy efficiency, ecosystem health, and environmental education. During this session, dive deep into CCAC's work by highlighting a sampling of best practices from campus host sites in each of our three areas of focus. We will also provide information about how campuses can get involved in CCAC and provide an opportunity for session participants to share best practices from their campuses.
