Indiana University has announced Climate Action Plan implementation committees for its two core and five regional campuses, and launched an updated climate action website that features goals, data and news.
The IU Climate Action Plan establishes a pathway for IU to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. That involves reducing direct emissions from university-owned or -controlled sources, and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heating and cooling. The university approved the plan in fall 2023.
Each campus has its own Climate Action Plan implementation committee with representation from students, faculty and staff. Names of committee members can be found on the updated climate action website. Members are appointed by local campus leadership, such as the provost and chancellors. Each committee will develop recommendations to implement the strategies approved in the IU Climate Action Plan for its respective campus.
The campus implementation committees will follow the guiding principles outlined in the IU Climate Action Plan:
Evidence-based and rigorous. Action-oriented, with immediate implementation whenever possible. Financially responsible.
