Climate

Policy Goals:

• All campuses, including their health systems, will maintain greenhouse gas emissions at, or below, 1990 levels.
• All campuses, including their health systems, will achieve climate neutrality from scope 1 and 2 sources by 2025.
• All campuses, including their health systems, will achieve climate neutrality from specific scope 3 sources (as defined by Second Nature’s Climate Commitment) by 2050 or sooner.
• The University will prioritize direct emissions reductions and purchase high-quality offset credits, when necessary, to meet climate protection goals.

Note: This is a summary of policy goals. Additional details and current requirements are available in the UC Sustainable Practices Policy. See UC's progress toward these goals in the Annual Report on Sustainable Practices.
