Accordingly, our institutions will pursue responsible solutions to address the climate change challenge. Therefore, we commit to the following actions: ?We will exercise leadership by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases in collaboration with our communities. ?We will develop measurable targets using research and science. ?We will develop achievable and practical plans to achieve reduction targets. ?We will put in place rigorous assessment and measurement procedures. ?We will fully disclose and be accountable for our actions. In pursuit of these actions, each institution will: 1. Initiate the development of a comprehensive plan to reduce greenhouse gases by creating a planning body that includes students, staff, faculty, researchers, administrators and other partners to set emission reduction targets in accordance with each institution's jurisdiction. 2. Within one year of signing this document, complete a comprehensive inventory of all greenhouse gas emissions on each campus. 3. Within two years of signing this document, set targets and develop an institutional climate action plan that engages each institution's research, education and operations into a comprehensive strategy that catalyzes solutions for climate change.
