In a shift that will support campus climate leadership and simplify the carbon management process, the Campus Carbon Calculator will move from its longstanding Excel format to a new, dynamic online application in summer, 2012. CA-CP has partnered with Sightlines, LLC, to re-launch the Calculator with a streamlined user experience and enhanced capabilities. Preview the new tool at www.campuscarbon.org.
The growing impacts of climate change are all around us—and savvy leaders are recognizing the need to plan for a new, less predictable, “normal.” Two recent examples:
- A report issued by the ACUPCC (and co-authored by CA-CP) illuminates the challenges and opportunities for higher education when it comes to climate preparedness.
- In fall 2011, dozens of college and university presidents from leading institutions across the country signed on to letters sent to the elected officials in their regions about the importance of federal support for climate preparedness research and planning resources.
At a time when good investments can be tough to come by, an innovative new program is helping colleges see returns on their endowment and other dollars by investing—in themselves. The Billion Dollar Green Challenge supports schools in setting up and effectively managing green revolving loan funds to finance smart energy projects. Learn more.
