Heads Up Podcast

All of these efforts are part of UCC’s renewed commitment to sustainability and regeneration. Last year, the College adopted a new Sustainability and Regeneration goal, along with clear objectives and an action plan. Earlier this year, UCC also signed the Climate & Nature Leadership Pledge through the Climate Action Accelerator Program (CAAP), marking an important milestone in our work toward a healthier, more ecologically just, and abundant future.

This work will continue to grow next year as UCC hosts the Youth Climate Action Summit, bringing together young people to learn, collaborate, and take meaningful action on climate and sustainability. Additional initiatives will include the introduction of a new, phased Upper School Garden, alongside a range of other projects that will further strengthen this work across the College.

Thank you to all students, faculty, staff, and parents who participated in Earth Week and Earth Month activities this year. Whether by joining a challenge, supporting sustainable businesses, choosing more sustainable transportation or food options, engaging in outdoor learning, reducing waste, or helping to repair and restore the spaces we share, each action contributes to a stronger culture of sustainability at UCC. Together, we can help make Earth Month last all year.
