For Drew, this means initiating programs and instituting policies that reduce our carbon footprint. President Weisbuch has signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment pursuant to the goal of climate neutrality for Drew. A greenhouse gas emissions inventory has been conducted and the final report will be released Fall 2009. A comprehensive climate action plan will be developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach climate neutrality.
