Few institutions in the world are positioned to address changes in our climate better than leading research universities. They play a critical role in advancing our understanding of climate science and its impacts, training leaders in emerging fields, educating the public and spurring innovation.
In a world that feels unpredictable, Michigan State University is meeting the moment by creating practical climate solutions today that will ensure a more sustainable and secure future.
Across the university, more than 500 faculty are engaged in research that addresses global challenges related to the changing climate and its effects, often working in interdisciplinary teams and in partnership with other universities and communities around the world.
The university’s commitment to making a difference locally and globally is reflected in its position in the 2024 Quacquarelli Symonds Sustainability Ranking, which places it in the top 3% of schools in the world as well as the nation. MSU also ranks highly in the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact rankings that measure how well universities are meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
