"In the U.S., national climate goals were weakened or eliminated; greenhouse gas emission limits repealed; fuel-efficiency standards gutted; methane emission regulations rolled back, along with incentives for renewable energy. The result, the New York Times estimates, will be an additional 7.6 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade-the equivalent of putting 150 million gas-powered cars on the road for ten years."
"I am continually inspired by our extraordinary students and the energy they bring to climate work. This year, we launched two new graduate programs-the M.S. in Climate and the M.S. in Climate Finance-and welcomed our largest cohort of students yet. Many of our students arrive with real experience in public service, community organizations, research and the private sector, and with a genuine desire to deepen the impact they're already making."
Policy reversals in 2025 weakened national climate goals, repealed greenhouse gas limits, gutted fuel-efficiency standards, and rolled back methane regulations and renewable incentives. The New York Times estimates those changes will add 7.6 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, equivalent to 150 million gas-powered cars on the road for ten years. Signs of progress include strong student commitment, new graduate programs, and larger cohorts building practical skills. Many students bring experience from public service, community organizations, research, and the private sector and are converting concern into capability and action.
