Penn Climate Insights is a digital platform that delivers concise, evidence‑based climate knowledge designed to be easy to access and simple to use in academic, professional, and everyday life.
We leverage the community’s combined strengths in research, teaching, and civic engagement to advance more coordinated, effective climate education.
To serve as a central knowledge hub that amplifies trusted climate information, fosters meaningful dialogues, and cultivates a cross-disciplinary climate community at Penn.
Climate change is not a distant threat. It is a daily reality shaping the air we breathe, the food we eat, the work we pursue, and the communities we build. Because climate touches every part of life, climate learning should be a part of daily life as well: embedded in our routines, conversations, and decisions. When climate discussion and understanding become an everyday experience, people gain the clarity and confidence to act.
Our philosophy is simple: education is both a vehicle for climate action and a form of climate action in itself. Transformative change begins with informed minds: people who are curious, well-equipped, and ready to imagine new possibilities. By strengthening climate literacy across the academic landscape and beyond, we aim to spark ideas, partnerships, and innovations that build a healthier, more resilient world for all.
