Launch of Net Zero on Campus: Guide and Online Toolkit

The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) recognizes that as colleges and universities across the world continue to commit to reach net-zero emissions, it is crucial that lessons and resources are shared to accelerate campus decarbonization efforts worldwide. That’s why SDSN, Monash University’s Energy Institute and Climateworks Centre, in collaboration with an advisory panel composed of experts from various universities worldwide, developed the Net Zero on Campus Initiative. It consists of a ‘how-to’ guide and an accompanying online toolkit of resources for colleges and universities to advance campus climate action around the world.

The guide and online toolkit (link) serve as timely resources that build on frameworks and tools developed by universities at the forefront of tackling climate action. The initiative aims to equip colleges and universities with the knowledge and tools they need to accelerate their climate action plans, while creating new communities of practice among them.

SDSN invites you to join either of our two Net Zero on Campus virtual launch events to learn about the initiative, to share your experiences with campus decarbonization, and to join our community of practice.
