Penn has announced two new University leadership positions, the Vice Provost for the Arts and the Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action, to advance the goals of the University’s strategic framework In Principle and Practice. 

Launched in fall 2023, In Principle and Practice affirms Penn’s principles as an anchored, interwoven, inventive, and engaged University and describes the ways in which it seeks to apply its mission in practice to make an enduring impact in the world. 

The inaugural Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action will draw from Penn’s academic strengths in the science and policy of climate mitigation and adaptation, advance scholarship and training for future leaders, and help lead our own institutional efforts at sustainability and bring other institutions along with us. The new position will accelerate the campus-wide Climate and Sustainability Action Plan, along with major academic programs in multiple Penn schools and world-leading centers, such as the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy, Environmental Innovations Initiative, and Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media.
