Central Washington University Board of Trustees October 19, 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – Climate Change Action Plan Central Washington University’s Sustainability Officer, Jeff Bousson, will be providing a high-level overview of our draft institutional Climate Change Action Plan. For the past several months, Jeff has collaborated with the campus and local community to identify, develop, and prioritize strategies that will enable CWU to achieve 45% greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030. Before CWU’s Climate Change Action Plan is completed in February 2024, Jeff is seeking input and guidance from the campus community, including the Board of Trustees, to generate support and ownership of the goals, strategies, and action steps listed within the Plan. Jeff will provide insight on CWU’s current climate footprint, the progress already occurring on campus, and the process for infusing community feedback as we shape a more sustainable and decarbonized future for our university. Additionally, Jeff will share the overarching goals, key pillars, and focus areas of the draft Climate Change Action Plan as well as our approach to implementing sustainability initiatives and climate pollution reduction strategies at CWU for many years to come. We encourage feedback and guidance from the Board of Trustees during this presentation as we further develop and refine actionable strategies that demonstrate our commitment to fostering high impact practices, sustainability, and authentic community partnerships that are grounded in meaningful relationships.
