The University of Virginia has a goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. One of the steps we'd like to take is to set up a sustainability program to offset the carbon emissions from our air travel. Do any of you have sustainability programs in place and would you be willing to share your experiences with us? Thank you

Hello Raegan,

Penn is about to pilot a sustainable program. I'm happy to share with you.

Hi Kathryn,
UBC is putting together a climate action plan (CPA) 2030 which includes a reduction of business air travel. I would be very interested in your sustainability program.

Thank you

Trinity is also in the process of creating a sustainability plan for our Study Abroad Program. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding reducing carbon admission for travel abroad and realistically how detailed can we make it?

Hi Kathryn
Virginia Commonwealth University is looking to do the same. Could you share what Penn is doing?
Raegan
Maybe we can discuss as well. I am interested in knowing what UVA is doing.
Thank you

UW System is also looking to incorporate travel into sustainability, and would love to hear what you are doing.
