The Dartmouth Climate Alliance is a group of 750+ members of the Dartmouth community -- alumni, students, faculty, staff and family members -- who care about climate change.
Members form friendships, learn about climate careers and solutions, and inspire one another to action. Please join us!
DCA offers in-person and online events that foster curiosity, knowledge and relationships.
We encourage informal networking for those in, or interested in, a climate career.
We look for ways to help Dartmouth walk the talk when it comes to climate change, from reducing waste at reunions to choosing climate-savvy trustees.
We suggest ways for our members to speak up for climate at home and at work.

Showing your support for DCA
DCA will soon start accepting contributions from members like other alumni groups. The suggested amount will be based on each member's age in decades. For example, the suggested contribution for someone in the 20s will be $20, $30 for those in their 30s, etc. Students and first year college graduates won't be asked or expected to pay anything.
Donations will be just that -- donations. The funds received will be used to support DCA's programming, including expenses for events and the climate careers podcast series. If the suggested rate poses a hardship, any level of support is welcome.
Stay tuned for more details and ways to pay.
