ACUPCC-NAELS Partnership
Campus Climate Neutral is an innovative sustainability consulting model created by the National Association of Environmental Law Societies (“NAELS”). Thanks to a grant from the V. Kann Rasmussen Fund, NAELS is partnering with the ACUPCC to offer free climate action planning assistance to 10 signatory schools. NAELS works with faculty and students on each campus to develop a climate action planning project as part of their coursework. Student teams then work with each campus to provide climate action planning support in order to meet the requirements of the ACUPCC.
During the 2009-2010 academic year, NAELS will be working with the following schools:
Bard College, Loyola University New Orleans, St. Augustine’s College, Tulane University, University of Arizona, University of Colorado - Colorado Springs, University of Nevada - Las Vegas, University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, Washington & Lee University, Whittier College
