Decarbonizing campuses: paving the way to a net zero future
A practical roadmap for higher education to lead in campus decarbonization, skills development, and sustainable innovation.
As higher education institutions (HEIs) are called upon to lead the transition into the post-fossil era, this white paper provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the complex journey of campus decarbonization. It highlights three key drivers: transforming campuses to achieve net-zero emissions, fostering interdisciplinary skills for future workforce needs, and serving as a collaborative platform for public-private partnerships.
The paper outlines practical strategies for addressing decarbonization challenges, such as implementing transparent, data-driven systems for tracking carbon footprints, adopting renewable energy, and integrating sustainable mobility solutions. By embracing digitalization and a holistic approach, HEIs can position themselves as leaders in sustainability, inspiring communities and attracting investments while paving the way toward a smarter, greener, and more resilient future.
Explore how forward-thinking HEIs worldwide are already advancing toward net-zero and learn how your institution can join the movement toward a sustainable, livable future.
