Summary
Second Nature, a leading organization advancing climate action in higher education, is pleased to announce the six higher education institutions selected to receive pro bono consulting services valued at up to $30,000 as part of the 2026 Pro Bono Consulting Round VI opportunity. Offered exclusively to Climate Leadership Network member institutions, this initiative provides targeted technical expertise to accelerate campus climate action, planning, and implementation.
Lane Community College (LCC) is excited to work with Ever-Green Energy to determine a technical roadmap, actionable within the next five years on how to significantly reduce carbon emissions related to fossil fuels used for campus heating and increase efficiencies.

The University of Minnesota will use the pro bono consulting services to develop a comprehensive funding and financing framework to support implementation of its Climate Action Plans and Energy Utility Plans.
