- 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.
