A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Dickinson College hosted an International Climate Symposium on campus from October 24 – 26, 2022. This included awarding the 2022 Sam Rose and Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson College for Global Environmental Activism to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in recognition of the IPCC’s important work.
The in-person and virtual symposium featured 50 speakers and moderators from a dozen countries, including IPCC Chair Dr. Hoesung Lee, IPCC Vice Chair Ko Barrett, IPCC Working Group II Co-Chair Dr. Debra Roberts, authors of the newest reports from the IPCC, and Dickinson faculty members and other guests with expertise on climate change science, risks, policies, and actions. Over the three-day symposium, the speakers and moderators engaged each other and the audience in conversations about findings from the IPCC reports, why they matter, and how they can be and are being used to mobilize more ambitious and equitable actions on climate change.
Dickinson students were in the thick of it throughout, asking questions, voicing their concerns and sharing their perspectives on needed action. They were joined by hundreds of others who attended in person or watched the livestream from colleges, universities, high schools and other institutions across the United States and numerous other countries. (Over 3,000 people from 52 countries registered in advance for the symposium).
