In November, <\/em>Arizona State University President Michael Crow was named to the 2024\u00a0TIME100 Climate list<\/a>\u00a0of leaders and innovators driving real climate action.<\/p>\n

The list includes leaders across a range of fields, from policy to business to education. TIME\u2019s editors spent months vetting names from across the economy. They prioritized measurable, scalable achievements and recent action over commitments and announcements.<\/p>\n

Crow is the\u00a0first university president<\/a>\u00a0to be named to the TIME100 Climate list.<\/p>\n

He is joined by such fellow honorees as World Bank President Ajay Banga; Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico; Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex; Bill Gates, founder of Breakthrough Energy and TerraPower, among other enterprises; Jennifer Granholm, current secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy; and Gila River Indian Community Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis. This is only the second time the magazine has released its climate list.<\/p>\n

The ASU president<\/a>\u00a0said the TIME100 Climate honor \u201cis a welcome recognition of our university\u2019s unique approach and impact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not focused on \u2018the sky is falling\u2019 or scare tactics \u2014 fear only inspires shortsighted, ill-conceived actions,\u201d<\/em> said Crow, who had been previously honored by the magazine when it named him one of the\u00a010 best college presidents<\/a>\u00a0in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re instead focused on finding solutions and results to some of society\u2019s biggest challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Crow\u2019s nearly four-decade-long conviction that the world’s leading universities are uniquely positioned \u2014 and have full responsibility \u2014 to lead in restoring and maintaining our relationship with the planet has driven many of his actions as a leader.<\/p>\n

His career path is full of early-stage actions and \u201cfirsts,\u201d such as founding Columbia University’s world-renowned Earth Institute (today part of Columbia’s recently formed Climate School) and the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes.<\/p>\n

Since becoming president of ASU in 2002, he has transformed ASU into a powerhouse of\u00a0climate-related action<\/a>\u00a0from Hawai\u2019i to Bermuda, from deserts to rainforests and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n
