Summary

Higher education leaders have been ahead of the curve in commitments to carbon reductions, primarily through efficiency and renewables. To support this momentum, Ever-Green launched the Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality program to create actionable plans to make sustainability and carbon neutrality goals a reality. Three campuses were selected as a cohort for the 2019 pilot year, participating in a planning effort to outline reductions in Scope 1 carbon. The first year cohort included the College of Saint Benedict, the University of St. Thomas, and the University of Minnesota Morris. The presentation will present results of the pilot phase of the cohort, solutions identified, transferable lessons, and next steps for these campuses.
