BALTIMORE — Captain Planet may not be coming to save the world from climate change, but Morgan State University is. In a huge leap to reverse the climate crisis, the National Treasure is establishing a new Center for Urban and Coastal Climate Science Research.
Its main focus? To work with the global scientific community and lawmakers to find ways to halt the harmful effects of global warming. This center, which is one of sixthat Morgan has created in the last five years, is here as a result of Gov. Wes Moore’s recent FY25 budget. The plan is for the State of Maryland to invest $3 million per year into the center.
