Pre-Conference Workshop:
Solutions Module Boot-Camp: Using the Campus Carbon Calculator™ for your Climate Action Planning
April 9, 2010 | River Falls, WI | 8:00 am – 12:30 pm
Hosted by the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment and Clean Air-Cool Planet
The American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment and Clean Air-Cool Planet (CA-CP) present this half-day workshop on how to effectively compare climate mitigation projects, their carbon reductions and financial returns. The climate action planning process can quickly become overwhelming, but the new Solutions Module of CA-CP’s Campus Carbon Calculator™ can help you evaluate the potential carbon reduction efficacy of different initiatives and construct scenarios for meeting possible targets and timetables given your funding and institutional constraints. If you are trying to figure out how to get started evaluating specific mitigation strategies, or are curious about how other schools have developed their reduction numbers and set their targets, this workshop is for you.
Audience: Space is limited to 30 attendees. This workshop is for colleges and universities that have completed their greenhouse gas inventory but have not yet completed their climate action plan. Attendees should have already completed a greenhouse gas inventory using the Campus Carbon Calculator, which would also ensure all attendees are familiar with Excel.

Welcome to the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment
March 9, 2010 | 2:00-3:00 EST
The American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment is a national initiative with an inspiring goal: climate neutrality for the higher education sector. Now that your institution has signed the commitment, where do you start?
Join us for this introductory webinar to help new signatory schools begin the process of developing an action plan for climate neutrality. This webinar will introduce signatories to the details and timeline of the commitment, how to access and submit reports using the ACUPCC reporting system, and resources available to support your institution’s climate neutrality efforts. This presentation is intended for new signatories, ACUPCC Implementation Liaisons and members of your climate action planning team.
