Greenhouse Gas InventoryClimate Commitment
• ACUPCC• Spring 2007: Signature of Commitment• By November 15, 2007:
•Create Institutional Structure to Guide Plan Development and Implementation
• By November 15, 2008: •Complete GHG Inventory•Update Biannually
• By November 15, 2009:•Plan for Climate Neutrality
Greenhouse Gas InventoryClimate Commitment
• ACUPCC• Early Action • Make climate and sustainability part of
curriculum and student experience• Expand research on climate neutrality• Develop mechanisms to track progress• Start 2 or more of:
LEED Silver for new buildings Energy Star appliances Carbon Credits for Air Travel Encourage Public Transportation 15% of Electricity Renewable Sources Sustainable & Climate-friendly Investing by UM-Foundation

Greenhouse Gas InventoryRecommendations for Future GHG Inventories
Future GHG inventories should… Include a comprehensive commuter survey and model of
commuting’s contribution;
Report monthly data for electricity consumption;
Capture emissions associated with purchased materials and supplies (e.g. paper, electronics, etc.);
Estimate Carbon offsets from UM forested lands.

Climate Action Plan Elements
• Power and Operations• Transportation• Campus Services and Activities• Administrative Policies• Education and Research• Outreach and In-reach• Financial Strategies
• Compilation of action plan items• Dialog with the campus
community• Quantification of emissions
reduction potentials and cost• Identification of co-benefits• Identification of implementation
mechanisms• Prioritization of actions• Implementation• Periodic updating
