91³Ô¹ÏÍø University views climate change as an obstacle to a better future, and an opportunity for action, teaching, and justice. As we advance our mission in light of our changing world, we are called to hold ourselves in balance before the gifts of creation.
Climate Action Plan: 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University's Path to Climate Neutrality
As a signatory of the , 91³Ô¹ÏÍø pledged to deepen and strengthen its commitment to sustainability. Developed for the campus by the Advisory Council on Stewardship and Sustainability (ACSS) and endorsed by President Thayne McCulloh, the Climate Action Plan (CAP) embodies the University’s comprehensive response to climate change and its efforts to advance ecological stewardship. As a “living document”, it will be reviewed and revised over time.
The CAP outlines current initiatives, strategies for achieving future targets, and potential funding sources and progress measures. 91³Ô¹ÏÍø has pledged to work toward climate neutrality, or net zero emissions, specifically a reduction of at least 20% by 2020 and at least 50% by 2035 with the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 (from a 2009 baseline).
If you would like to get involved with these efforts or if you have any questions about the CAP, please contact us.
