The Dartmouth Climate Alliance is a group of nearly 800 members of the Dartmouth ecosystem -- 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
