Columbia Climate School Launches New M.S. in Climate Program
Just in time for New York City’s Climate Week, the Columbia Climate School is proud to announce a new master’s degree program: the M.S. in Climate. This is a two-year, 50-credit degree that will prepare young and mid-career professionals and future academics to be climate leaders at community, state, national and international levels. The first cohort will begin classes in fall 2025.
“What makes society, agriculture, and everything resilient is diversity”
Professor and scientist Dr. Ruth DeFries talks to the Millet Revival Project about the irony of millets becoming all the rage in urban areas in India, while being non-aspirational and stigmatised in rural pockets, and why farmers are still not reaping the benefits of growing them.
“Climate change and the rampant extreme events we are grappling with are a reckoning. We are realizing we don’t have a choice, and for some living in resource-constrained settings, the choice is even more limited. We have to change the way we grow food, how we distribute it, and how we consume it. We have to consider equity issues across food systems. We have to hold our governments and the range of private sector actors accountable to assist in this transition. We can’t leave it to eaters to fend for themselves when the cards are often stacked against them.” – Jessica Fanzo, Professor of Climate and Director of the Food for Humanity Initiative, Columbia Climate School
