Martin, Tenn.– University of Tennessee at Martin Chancellor Keith Carver has signed a climate resilience commitment to add UT Martin to the Climate Leadership Network of American colleges and universities committed to working toward carbon reduction and climate resilience. The Climate Leadership Network, organized by Second Nature, began in 2006 with 12 institutions and has since grown to include institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. By joining this network, UT Martin pledges to improve environmental sustainability and ensure that the campus is prepared for the impacts of climate change.
