In order to maximize opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration, the Yale School of the Environment has created learning communities which provide students with expanded education, training, and career opportunities. Through conferences, workshops, internships, and other forms of engagement, they provide opportunities to pursue areas of research and professional interest regardless of degree specialization. Each learning community is directed by a faculty coordinator who is a leading expert in the area and is supported by one to three student leads. Students are free to engage with as many or as few learning communities as they choose, making them an excellent framework and resource to enrich their scholarship and expand their network within YSE and across Yale.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="checkerboard global-spacing global-spacing--xlarge paragraph--default"> <div class="checkerboards"> <div class="card card--checkerboard" > <div class="card__media"> <figure class="global-spacing--small"> <div class="aspect-ratio-frame" style="--aspect-ratio: .55"> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z10_xxsmall/public/content/images/36/LC-BuisnessEnvironment-danpage.jpg?h=7381c831&itok=7fdlzhIW 300w, /sites/default/files/styles/16x9z25_small/public/content/images/36/LC-BuisnessEnvironment-danpage.jpg?h=7381c831&itok=oa7n3z0n 550w, /sites/default/files/styles/16x9z30_medium/public/content/images/36/LC-BuisnessEnvironment-danpage.jpg?h=7381c831&itok=vDPhnkVU 768w" type="image/jpeg" sizes="100vw, (min-width: 769px) 50vw" width="768" height="432"/> <img loading="lazy" width="768" height="432" src="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z10_xxsmall/public/content/images/36/LC-BuisnessEnvironment-danpage.jpg?h=7381c831&itok=7fdlzhIW" alt="Business and the Environment Illustration" /> </picture> </div> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__content__inner"> <div class="wysiwyg full"> <h2>Business and the Environment</h2> <div class="global-spacing--small"> <p><p>Students who engage with this LC join a dynamic circle of scholars and practitioners who are thinking about the many opportunities and challenges for businesses in developing more sustainable approaches to meeting human needs.</p></p> </div> <a href="/learning-communities/business" class="btn btn--default">Business Learning Community</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card card--checkerboard" > <div class="card__media"> <figure class="global-spacing--small"> <div class="aspect-ratio-frame" style="--aspect-ratio: .55"> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z10_xxsmall/public/content/images/37/LC-ClimateChange-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=-FzmlJwT 300w, /sites/default/files/styles/16x9z25_small/public/content/images/37/LC-ClimateChange-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=SByQKbLp 550w, /sites/default/files/styles/16x9z30_medium/public/content/images/37/LC-ClimateChange-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=SiS4tjrz 768w" type="image/jpeg" sizes="100vw, (min-width: 769px) 50vw" width="768" height="432"/> <img loading="lazy" width="768" height="432" src="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z10_xxsmall/public/content/images/37/LC-ClimateChange-danpage.jpg?h=bd24be0f&itok=-FzmlJwT" alt="Climate Change Illustration" /> </picture> </div> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="card__content"> <div class="card__content__inner"> <div class="wysiwyg full"> <h2>Climate Change Science and Solutions</h2> <div class="global-spacing--small"> <p><p>Businesses, ecosystems, industries, societies, and political systems are all vulnerable to climate change.
