The Columbia Climate School is a professional school of Columbia University, located in New York City. Its mission is to advance knowledge and train leaders in climate science, sustainability, and related fields.

Established in 2020, it is the first new school created at Columbia in more than 25 years. The school was formed by consolidating the university’s major climate-related research centers, including the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, and by integrating the functions of the Earth Institute with Columbia’s existing Master’s program in Climate and Society.
