Climate Commitment Easier Signed Than Done
Four hundred colleges and universities signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment. So now, 400 colleges and universities must submit their plans for meeting that promise. It’s a challenging time to set ambitious goals, since the economy is still in a slump and the higher education world is suffering from this as much as any other sector. For now, most institutions are hoping to start meeting their commitments through reduced energy use and increased efficiency, and may apply carbon offsets later to make up the difference.
