A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
UCLA has a broad range of programs to reduce emissions, from energy efficiency to on and off site renewable energy to transitioning our fleet to sustainable fuel and electric vehicles.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UCLA's cogeneration plant, in actuality a trigeneration plant that produces electricity, steam, and chilled water came online in 1994 and is part of the reason for significant reductions over baseline. The plant is highly efficient and resulted in major greenhouse gas emissions reductions over the last decades. Electricity produced at the plant was less than 50% of the CO2 intensity per KWh compared to the utility (this differential will shrink over time as the utility moves toward greater renewables).
