Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Toolkit for Universities

The Idea

I worked with Clean Air -- Cool Planet to develop an Excel toolkit to facilitate greenhouse gas emissions inventories at colleges and universities. The tool has been used by at least 600 different universities and serves as a first step towards emission reductions.

Steps to reducing emissions at your institution

  1. Conduct an emissions inventory
  2. Consider emissions reduction target and timetable
  3. Develop a campus climate action plan
  4. Implement the plan
  5. Institutionalize climate protection
