American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC)

With our partners AASHE and Second Nature, ecoAmerica launched the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment in March, 2007.  Since then over 650 schools in all 50 states with nearly 40% of America's higher education students have signed on to measure and report their emissions, take immediate steps to reduce them, and develop and implement a plan to go climate neutral. The strength of the effort also led to a partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative, giving signatories access to a $5 billion pool of financing for emissions reductions. The aggressive actions these institutions are taking powerfully demonstrate that we can address global warming in ways that are good for students, schools and communities.
