PRESIDENT'S CLIMATE COMMITMENT
|
|
On July 16, 2007, President Gerald Jakubowski signed the President's Climate Commitment. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology will now create a comprehensive institutional action plan to move toward climate neutrality. The American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment is a high-visibility effort to address global warming by garnering institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions, and to accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth's climate. Under the guidance and direction of the Leadership Circle of presidents, the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment is being supported and implemented by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), Second Nature, and ecoAmerica.
