New NEH Program Helps Organizations Adapt to Climate Change

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering a new program through its Challenge Programs office designed to help humanities organizations (including colleges and universities) plan for and adapt to climate change.

Optional Draft Due: November 29, 2022

Deadline: January 17, 2023

Through the Climate Smart program, your humanities organization can undertake activities such as energy audits, risk assessments, and meetings with consultants. The resulting climate smart plan helps you establish goals and prioritize actions that reduce your organization’s impacts on the environment through mitigation and vulnerability from extreme events through adaptation. Together, mitigation and adaptation can inform a robust road map that addresses climate challenges, protects assets, and facilitates collaboration between internal and external stakeholders. Strategic planning for climate change is an essential part of sustaining humanities organizations’ operations and activities—becoming climate smart.
