Catalyzing Change
We connect people, ideas and actions to amplify climate and sustainability efforts across NC State and beyond.
Welcome to the Climate and Sustainability Academy
The NC State’s Climate and Sustainability Academy (CaSA) unites existing and emerging interdisciplinary research, teaching, engagement and operations efforts to promote sustainable and resilient solutions to climate and other global challenges, connecting people and places to imagine and catalyze transformative change.
Connecting the Coastal Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (CRSI) (focusing on the coast and watersheds) and the Sustainable Futures Initiative (SFI) (focusing on campus and urban environments), CaSA brings together students, staff, scholars, practitioners and communities to imagine and implement resilient, transformative futures.
Futures-oriented
CaSA works across three Futures Hubs—Campus & Urban, Working Lands, Coastal—reflecting the landscapes where climate and sustainability challenges are most urgent and where NC State can test and demonstrate resilient, transformative solutions.
