Campus Decarbonization Academy

Program Overview

In response to the growing demand from our community, AASHE is launching the Campus Decarbonization Academy, a program designed to equip campus teams with the skills, tools, and strategies needed to decarbonize campus infrastructure effectively. By fostering skill development, networking, and collective problem-solving, the program will engage individuals and teams to develop strategies to launch or advance their campus decarbonization initiatives.

Featuring experts from higher education, business and civil society, real-world case studies, and practical tools, participants will gain a holistic understanding of the latest technologies, funding sources, and skills crucial for implementing decarbonization strategies.

Who Should Attend?

This program is ideal for campus teams including sustainability, energy, and facilities managers, as well as business officers, campus planners and architects, or anyone responsible for strategic campus planning. To encourage team participation, we will be offering special discounts for group registrations. Even if you don’t have a team, individual participation is welcome, though the full benefits are best realized with a collaborative approach. The content will be particularly suited for institutions with a central plant and/or significant deferred maintenance.
