UC's Climate Action Plan   (FREE LUNCH included)

Presentation on UC's recently-completed Climate Action Plan, part of the the President's Climate Commitment.  UC was one of only 88 schools across the country to submit our plan on time.  It outlines ideas and guidelines on how we can become more sustainable and reduce our carbon emissions to zero by 2050.  The presentation will be given by administrators, faculty and students who will highlight ways in which the UC community can get involved in the process and help achieve the goals of the Plan.
