Leading Change: Progress from American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment

摘要

Over the past five years, the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) has helped transition the sustainability movement in higher education from a series of isolated projects and successes into a cohesive network of shared best practices, successful solutions, and deep investment in sustainability education for all students. The ACUPCC celebrates its five-year anniversary this year, having grown from 12 founding presidents into a network of 675 institutions, representing the scope of higher education institutions in the United States. In challenging campuses to take on bold climate leadership and comprehensive sustainability education, the success and promise of the network is highlighted by the third commitment—to publicly report on their progress.
