CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ committed to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions in its own campus operations in 2007 then Chancellor Bud Peterson signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. A Conceptual Plan for Carbon Neutrality was completed in 2009. The campus is now updating that 2009 plan with an aim toward achieving that 50% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and a clear guidepath to reaching carbon neutrality by no later than 2050 and will include feasible Scope 3 emissions for the first time. The Climate Action Plan will build on several other relevant recent master plans for the campus:Ìý the Transportation Master Plan, the Energy Master Plan, the Housing Master Plan, and the Campus Master Plan.Ìý Find links to these below.

The CAP will:

• Analyze and understand the current sustainability framework and existing gaps;
• Quantify the costs and year-by-year emission reduction results of specific strategies’ and
• Prepare an action plan to guide the implementation of its recommendations.
