Climate Commitment Advisory Council
Duke University has created a new representative governance structure to bring life to the ambitions of its Climate Commitment.
The Climate Commitment Advisory Council (CCAC) serves as an advisory body to the Executive Leadership of the University (President, Provost, Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, and the Executive Vice President) to drive the vision articulated in the Duke Climate Commitment.
The CCAC is led by Vice President and Vice Provost for Climate and Sustainability, Toddi Steelman, with vice chair Brian Murray, Director of the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability. Co-chairs of the four subcommittees also serve on the CCAC Leadership Team.
