Colleges and universities are under growing pressure to cut carbon emissions while balancing tight budgets, aging infrastructure, and rising community expectations. From community colleges to flagship research institutions, the challenge is the same: how do you accelerate climate action without compromising financial or operational stability?

In this one-hour panel, campus leaders will share how they are advancing sustainability through integrated planning—aligning facilities, finance, academics, and operations to move faster and smarter. You’ll hear how institutions are confronting legacy systems like boilers, cogeneration plants, and generators, while also exploring innovative solutions such as microgrids and renewable energy integration.

Whether your institution is just beginning its sustainability journey or pushing toward aggressive carbon-neutrality targets, you’ll walk away with fresh strategies and practical insights to make meaningful progress on your own campus.
