What They’re Saying: Chicago Curriculum

In October 2024, we launched the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth. Our groundbreaking new Institute aims to leverage UChicago’s unique legacy and resources to balance the risks of a changing climate with the essential need for human progress and growth. We’ll do this through cutting-edge research, trailblazing education, and international engagement.

Since our launch, we’ve been talking with key climate and energy leaders about the Chicago Curriculum on Climate and Sustainable Growth—our pioneering new approach to energy and climate education. Here are some perspectives from our first set of conversations.
