With input from the campus community, the Task Force drafted a Climate Action Plan, which was approved by the Board of Trustees.
The plan set an ambitious but realistic strategy that places BU in a leadership role locally and nationally, and provides the greatest opportunities for sustained environmental benefits. The plan emphasizes reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions to become carbon neutral by 2040, a decade earlier than the City of Boston's target to help the City meet its target.
