A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
1990/91 was selected as the baseline year to conform with Kyoto Protocol reporting. UM has focused on energy efficiency since 1977 when it hired its first energy engineer and installed its first building automation system.

A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
The University of Manitoba has made a climate action commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. The Climate Action Plan lays out 17 low-carbon actions to help achieve these goals. Some projects include the creation of the Sustainable Design Guidelines which apply to all new construction, renovation, and public realm projects. In addition, electric boilers are helping with the transition away from natural gas among other energy-saving projects.
