Presidents’ Climate Commitment Report Released

An annual report on achievements and progress in the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment has been released. You can get a copy of the report online through the project’s Web site.

The report, in snapshots, details the various actions that colleges have taken to fulfill their commitments up to this point. It also calculates the cumulative impact the actions have had on carbon emissions (a potential to reduce carbon emissions by 33 million metric tons), and provides short case studies of colleges that have taken on energy projects, green-building programs, or sustainability curricula.

The report also lists the commitment’s signatories and notes whether they are in good standing. The vast majority are, but a significant number are not.
