Climate, Energy, and Decarbonization
The potential to impact our climate
is embodied in everything we do.
Goal 2: “Decarbonize campus to build an equitable, accessible, and fossil-free future”, outlines our steps for energy related climate action.
UCSC was the first of 10 UC campuses to complete a comprehensive project study in 2017, the Climate & Energy Strategy, to assess readiness and opportunities in striving towards the achievement of carbon neutrality. V – CES Appendix
