A brief description of the institution’s GHG emissions reduction initiatives:
Vanier College has pledged to reach net-zero by 2030 or 2050 at the very latest.

Part of Vanier College's urgent action is a commitment to become carbon neutral. in order to plan for this commitment, Vanier College must first understand and establish a baseline of it's current emissions by conducting a greenhouse gas inventory.
