A brief summary of the climate plan’s long-term goals:
Luther is committed to taking all available steps to reduce energy usage and emissions. After reaching our short term target(see below), Luther will then look ahead to next steps including further reductions,and our long-term goal is carbon-neutrality. We have not set a date for carbon neutrality and believe that it is premature for Luther College to do so at this time.
None
A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
Luther’s five-year strategic plan includes a short-term goal to reduce the campus carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2012. The College has developed an Integrated Renewable Energy and Campus Sustainability Initiative to achieve this strategic goal that relies on efficiency upgrades, renewable energy generation, limited use of local carbon offsets, and energy conservation education. Some elements of this initiative are already in implementation while others are planned for the next few years.
