Earth Week at Penn is taking place April 21–27, 2025. Earth Week presents an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to engage in cross-disciplinary events designed to educate and inspire action. This year’s theme is Our Power, Our Planet – to inspire us to use our influence and energy to foster sustainability, environmental stewardship, and positive change. Earth Week elevates our collective impact by encouraging involvement from all schools and centers at Penn. 

The fourth iteration of our Climate and Sustainability Action Plan (CSAP) represents a marker in Penn’s remarkable transformation into one of the world’s premier teaching and research institutions.We have been fueled by enormous growth in capabilities, means, and influence, and Penn will continue to lead in the environmental field. Inclusive climate change scholarships, innovative policy formation, and the adoption of best practices continue to dramatically impact our campus efficiency and reduce emissions.
