"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Does the institution have a plan to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

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.


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.
