Program areas at Second Nature

Second Nature believes colleges and universities must exercise leadership in their communities and throughout society by providing the knowledge, research, practice, and informed graduates to create a positive and sustainable future. The presidents' climate leadership commitments have been catalysts for actions on hundreds of campuses and in many communities across the nation. The climate leadership network is made up of the over 600 commitment signatories, is overseen by a steering committee of 20 presidents, and is facilitated by the organization. Higher education presidents and chancellors can join the climate leadership network by signing either the carbon or the resilience commitment, or the integrated climate commitment.the c2p2 program is an initiative to support colleges and universities in developing and marketing carbon offsets as a way to accelerate their progress towards campus carbon neutrality. Eligible schools can develop carbon credits on their campuses through energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and leed certified buildings. Proceeds from carbon sales are invested into sustainability projects on campus, allowing schools to achieve greater emissions reductions and pushing communities to develop clean, efficient energy systems. The carbon credit and purchasing program develops credits to the verified carbon standard (vcs) through a methodology designed specifically for campus-based projects. As the manager of c2p2, the organization provides technical and logistical support to schools participating in the program.university climate change and coalition (uc3 program) the uc3 program is a coalition of leading north america research universities that will prototype a collaborative model designed to help local communities achieve their climate goals and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future.the distinguished universities from the united states, canada and mexico that make up uc3 have committed to mobilize their resources and expertise to accelerate local and regional climate action in partnership with businesses, cities and states, foundations and other organizations.
