Resilience Commitment<\/h3>

<\/h4>
UW-Stevens Point signed Second Nature\u2019s Carbon Neutrality Commitment in 2007. UW-Stevens Point joined over 100 other universities across the United States by signing the Second Nature\u2019s Resilience Commitment in December 2023. Chancellor Gibson, in partnership with university leadership, signed the Resilience Commitment and instructed the UW-Stevens Point Office of Sustainability to begin the resilience planning process in 2024. Resilience is the ability of a system or community to survive disruption and to anticipate, adapt, and flourish in the face of change.\nSecond Nature is a Massachusetts-based non-profit dedicated to encouraging climate action in and through institutions of higher education. The organization will support UW-Stevens Point during the development of a Climate Action and Resilience Plan. UW-Stevens Point will be required to submit yearly progress reports to Second Nature on the university\u2019s efforts to reduce carbon emissions, assess resilience thresholds and incorporate resilience into the curriculum.<\/div>
