“For decades, scholars at Rutgers have generated and disseminated knowledge about the climate crisis and the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Now, it’s the Administration’s turn to put that knowledge into practice and to do its fair share. Rutgers needs to put solar panels on every roof and parking lot. We need, furthermore, to work with our neighbors so that our renewable infrastructure enhances resilience and job-creation in Camden, Newark, and New Brunswick. Now more than ever, we need to be the climate justice leader of New Jersey.”
