How institutions can navigate critical threats to campus
|
|
The effects of rising global temperatures look different from region to region, but the looming impacts are inevitable. Climate change could have financial impacts on the enrollments and budgets of colleges not directly affected by consequences such as the sea-level rising. Institutions must plan carefully and begin to act now to mitigate potential crises and the worst of the long-term challenges.
Managing the Unimaginable covers how colleges will need to adopt a 21st-century conception of resilience to manage these challenges to survive and thrive amid evolving and intensifying threats. College leaders will need to plan and make decisions about facilities that extend far beyond their own tenures, and possibly their own lifetimes.
