Stanford University is the recipient of a $1.1 billion endowment to fund a sustainability and climate school. John and Ann Doerr have provided the gift, which is the largest ever to a university for the establishment of a new school. The Doerr donation is an affirmation of the need for climate change research and scholarship and will place Stanford at the center of public and private efforts to transition the world away from fossil fuels.
