A brief summary of the climate plan’s long-term goals:
NYU plans to fulfill the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) net-zero emissions “climate neutrality” commitment by FY 2040. This will be achieved by reducing the energy intensity of University buildings through conservation and efficiency measures, supplying energy needs through cleaner on-site generation and renewable energy, promoting behavioral shifts and culture change, planning for green building, and credibly o¬ffsetting remaining emissions.
A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
NYU will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions per square foot by 30% from fiscal year (FY)2006 levels by FY 2017. This short-term commitment provides the University with a framework to reduce emissions in an ambitious and tangible way.
