2026 Higher Education Climate Leadership Summit

The Summit took place in Chicago this past March. It reminded us that climate action is strongest when it’s collective, from student voices inspiring change to institutional leaders reimagining solutions, and from Indigenous wisdom to innovative community engagement. This year marked 20 years of climate leadership in higher education, and the energy was undeniable. Leaders reaffirmed that no institution can do this work alone, and through Unify for Climate, we’re entering a new chapter of alignment, ambition, and impact for the sector.

Unify For Climate: The Next Generation of Climate Action in Higher Education
August 25, 2026 | 3 p.m. ET

Higher education is being called on to deliver climate solutions at a scale no single institution can achieve alone—while navigating increasing pressure around impact, value, and trust. At the 2026 Higher Education Climate Leadership Summit, a clear theme emerged: progress accelerates when institutions can move faster individually and work together at scale.

This session will explore Unify for Climate, a call to action aligning higher education’s diverse strengths around climate solutions with measurable societal impact.

Join us to learn from a panel of institutional leaders on:

  • How campuses are approaching climate action in this moment
  • Where alignment across institutions can accelerate progress
  • What it looks like to connect individual efforts to sector-wide impact

Speakers: 

  • Alex French: Project Manager, CUHeat Program, Clarkson University
  • Aurora Sharrard: Assistant Vice Chancellor for Sustainability, University of Pittsburgh
  • Stephania Fregosi: Sustainability Analyst, Portland Community College
