Commitments
Race to Zero - Universities and Colleges - is a global campaign to rally leadership and action in the education sector and is supported by Second Nature, EAUC, and UNEP
Second Nature's Climate Leadership Network provides colleges and universities a framework to make public commitments to climate action. College and University presidents and chancellors make public, institutional commitments by signing onto one of the Presidents’ Climate Leadership Commitments, becoming Climate Leadership Network signatories.
- Carbon Commitment: Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality as soon as possible.
- Resilience Commitment: Climate adaptation planning and community capacity building to respond to climate impacts.
- Climate Commitment: Integrates carbon neutrality with climate resilience and provides a comprehensive approach to mitigating and adapting to a changing climate.
All three commitments require publicly reporting progress, and creating and revising an action plan.
