DUSP Town Hall: Climate Action Plan Implementation

City Arena 

As in the rest of the world, climate change has become a major issue of concern for DUSP students and faculty, as indicated by student organizing and petitions in 2019, and the faculty’s strategic planning processes in 2017. A fall 2019 class produced a DUSP Climate Action Plan that identified a number of roles that DUSP could play, including educating students and faculty to make changes; modeling change effectively for the Institute and other universities; and becoming an agent and advocate to develop new solutions.With support from the Dean, School Council of SA+P, and the MIT Office of Sustainability, DUSP is starting implementation of parts of the climate action plan. The town hall on March 12 is designed for you to give your feedback on the planned implementation steps, as well as your suggestions on how DUSP can take action and demonstrate leadership on campus and in the field of urban planning.Agenda: 12:30 -12:35: Get lunch12:40 -12:55: Present climate action plan12:55 -1:10: Present options for a departmental flying policy1:15-2:00: Breakout into four groups for ideas and feedback on implementation steps For more information, please read the DUSP Climate Action Plan: <a href="https://dusp.mit.edu/sites/dusp.mit.edu/files/DUSP%20Climate%20Action%20Plan.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>
