Climate, Environment & Sustainability
CU Boulder scientists explore ways to help people and communities around the world become more resilient to a changing climate. We develop technologies to reduce emissions and slow the rate of climate change.
Our research is foundational, with our earth and atmospheric science disciplines ranking No. 1 and No. 2 respectively around the world in 2023. We collaborate closely with federal agencies such as NOAA and NASA to address society's most pressing challenges, because creating climate solutions requires connections, partnerships and cross-disciplinary approaches.
