Kyoto Standard Greenhouse Gas emission Target

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
UWinnipeg was the first major post-secondary institution in Manitoba to implement a systematic greenhouse gas reduction strategy. UWinnipeg's Board of Regents committed in 2005 to model its target off of Canada's original Kyoto commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6% compared to 1990 levels by 2012.
UWinnipeg not only met, but also exceeded its target but reducing GHGs by 6% from 1990 levels, setting it on track to meet its subsequent target of a 10% reduction from 1990 levels by 2016. This happened during a period of campus growth, where total building space increased by 36%.
