Free Webinar: Leading Campus Decarbonization Efforts, January 14, 3 - 4 pm ET
Event Description
Join this free, engaging session featuring a dynamic panel of experts from diverse higher education institutions HEIs—spanning private and public, large and small campuses—who are driving innovative decarbonization initiatives. Panelists will showcase that decarbonization of a majority of direct emissions is possible today, share practical insights on the strategies they’ve implemented, the challenges they’ve navigated, and the creative solutions they’ve employed to achieve significant carbon reductions. Topics will include financing mechanisms, available technologies, and specific case studies. This webinar is ideal for anyone seeking to understand and implement impactful campus decarbonization projects.
The session will also introduce participants to the 2026 Campus Decarbonization Academy, a comprehensive six-month, cohort-based program designed to empower higher education institutions in advancing their decarbonization efforts. Developed by AASHE in partnership with NACUBO – National Association of College and University Business Officers, SCUP – Society for College and University Planning, Second Nature, Sustainable Endowments Institute and U.S. Green Building Council. The Academy equips sustainability, energy, lab, facilities, finance, and planning professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to lead effective campus decarbonization initiatives. Participants gain actionable guidance on renewable energy adoption, electrification, stakeholder engagement, and accessing funding sources and state resources, ensuring they are well-prepared to overcome key challenges and drive impactful change.
Tailored to institutions at various stages of their sustainability journey, the Academy fosters collaboration and innovation, providing participants with access to expert-led sessions, peer learning opportunities, and practical resources. Real-world case studies and cutting-edge strategies offer actionable insights to accelerate progress toward carbon neutrality. By connecting participants to a network of sustainability leaders, the Academy helps campuses lead the charge in creating a sustainable and equitable future for all.
