Climate Action Planning Wiki Launched by the Association for the Advancement of
Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE Campus Sustainability
Perspecitves Blog, 4/3/09). The
intent of this wiki is to fill a climate action planning "resource
gap" by providing a guide which is much
more "how-to" oriented and comprehensive than existing campus
greenhouse gas emissions reduction resources. Those resources are excellent but
don't provide a lot of detail on how to actually get to climate neutrality.
While developed with the support of the ACUPCC, this CAP wiki is intended to be
helpful to all colleges and universities with an interest in reducing GHG
emissions.
