Signing the ACUPCC is not intended to be an alternative to any current plans for greenhouse gas reductions on a campus. The ACUPCC creates a larger context for a campus’s current plans – one that acknowledges what science tells us – that we must neutralize greenhouse gas emissions by mid century. All current efforts at individual institutions are important elements of the comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality and will enhance the ability of the institutions achieve the ultimate goal.
