Â鶹´«Ã½, a signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), has developed a plan to achieve carbon neutrality toward the middle of the century.  On November 6, 2016, WMU hosted a one-day regional workshop to gather representatives from other campuses in the area who are involved in reducing greenhouse gas emissions at their own institutions with the hope that we can develop relationships, share best practices and overall be most efficient in our efforts. Below are the presentations and the agenda from the Climate Action Plan workshop.
