A brief summary of the climate plan’s long-term goals:
In keeping with the Sustainability Master Plan completed in 2006-2007, the long-term goal of the Climate Action Plan is to establish a carbon neutral university by 2037 (within 30 years of when the Master Plan was developed). The plan outlines emission reduction strategies in the following areas: energy, transportation, solid waste and other sources. It also includes recommendations for strategies to incorporate climate change and sustainability into education, research and community outreach.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The baseline year for GHG emissions reductions is FY 2008. The first target year is FY 2015. The latest excel version of the CA-CP Campus Carbon Calculator (v6.9), which has updated constants and emission factors, was used to calculate the FY 12-13 emissions and to update previous inventories.
