UC reaches an emissions-reduction milestone
From raging wildfires and catastrophic flooding to rapidly thawing permafrost, the environmental impacts of climate change were evident on both a local and global scale last year — but the University of California is pointing the way to a future that is both resilient and sustainable.
All 10 campuses and their affiliated health systems have hit their goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. The achievement is even more notable given UC’s significant growth over the last three decades, even as the university continues to tackle the major challenge of natural gas consumption.
