Sustainability Action Plan

APPENDIX 1: SUSTAINABILITY STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP

UW-Stout adopted its first Climate Action Plan on September 15, 2009. This Climate Action Plan laid out UW-Stout’s targets for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2015. The table below shows UW-Stout’s progress toward the goals it set in 2009. APPENDIX 2: 2015 GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTION TARGETS GHG emissions reduction commitments from the 2009 Climate Action Plan, measured by percent change from FY2008 GHG emissions data to FY2015 GHG emissions data

7 This substantial decrease can, in part, be attributed to a change in travel categories within the Campus Carbon Calculator. In 2008, the CCC required that we survey any students about commuting habits. In 2015, it required that we survey student commuters only.
