A brief summary of the climate plan’s long-term goals:
MU is committed to becoming carbon neutral and has set a rolling date to achieve that goal. Since the university intends to progress as rapidly as possible, MU will not set that date far into the future; rather, it will review progress at the conclusion of every calendar year and provide a status report to the campus.

None
A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
The Climate Action Plan’s initial phase is five years. Going forward, MU will have a rolling five-year plan that will be reviewed on an annual basis in conjunction with the Campus Master Plan. Like the Campus Master Plan, the Climate Action Plan will be a working tool used to stimulate dialogue and interaction among the many campus groups that might have direct or indirect interest in the development of the campus as it relates to MU’s environmental, economic and social footprint. The plan will include areas required by the President’s Climate Commitment: energy, transportation, education, research and financing. It will also include other areas of sustainability -- water, site selection, waste management, purchasing, building design and construction, and food.
