UC, UBC announce University Climate Change Coalition (UC3) leadership transition

UC Office of the President
Monday, June 22, 2020

University of California President Janet Napolitano and University of British Columbia President Santa J. Ono today (June 22) announced a transition in leadership of the University Climate Change Coalition (UC3), a network of 22 leading North American research universities working together to accelerate local and regional climate action. Effective June 30, Ono will assume the role of UC3 lead from Napolitano as she prepares to step down from the presidency of UC later this summer. Napolitano spearheaded the formation and launch of UC3 in February 2018, which is now a signature program of Second Nature.

...“President Ono and the University of British Columbia have been leaders within UC3 since its formation, so this is a natural transition that will build on the strong foundation we have established,” said Napolitano. “I am confident that President Ono’s leadership will take the coalition to new heights as research universities continue to pursue urgent climate research and solutions that will help secure a sustainable future for our communities.”...

So far, no reports of who Napolitano's successor will be as UC prez. There may not be an unveiling of the nominee until the next Regents meeting in late July.
