  1. Campus Action PlanningNow what? Claire Roby Carbon Accounting Coordinator

  2. Reporting inventory data • Overview of creating a CAP • 2 Common Questions

  3. Reporting Your Data • Internal stakeholders • Wider community • Make Recommendations • Clarify the purpose of the activity

  4. Climate Action Plans Just some ideas! • Who needs to be involved? • Small group of core planners + committees • Someone needs to be in charge • Reference other CAPs • Allow feedback at several points in the process • Utilize Campus Carbon Calculator Solutions Module

  5. How to set a goal or timeline The Million Dollar Question! • Science based • Consider university and regional characteristics • There is no one right answer

  6. How do I facilitate conversations about the relative significance of one source of emissions (say study abroad travel) while not discouraging or alienating critical university functions and factions?

  7. Question: How might the global warming potential of different gases factor into our reduction plans? Considering Global Warming Potential in Climate Action Plans

  8. Short Lived Pollutants Short lived pollutants – black carbon, methane, and tropospheric ozone – make melting worse in the Arctic in a variety of ways, science suggests.   By limiting production of these pollutants, especially in Arctic nations, we could have a more immediate impact and “buy time” for the Arctic, whose melting has a potential impact that is profound.
