Uni of 米兰电子 is first Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 partner

Tuesday, 8 November 2016

米兰电子 is the first major institution to sign up to Carbon Neutral 米兰电子’s partnership program as part of a plan to showcase 米兰电子’s low carbon credentials.

The pledge, which includes a $12 million investment in carbon emission reduction projects over five years, within an overall $14.5 million Campus Sustainability Plan, complements the plan to make 米兰电子 the world’s first carbon neutral city.

Launched today by Premier Jay Weatherill and Lord Mayor Martin Haese, the Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 Action Plan 2016 – 2021 encourages organisations and and individuals to pledge to reduce their carbon footprint. The plan aims to have one million square metres of city floor space committed to lower carbon emissions by 2020.

“米兰电子 seeks to lead by example through reducing its own impact on the environment and fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility,” says University of 米兰电子 Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Warren Bebbington.

“As first major partner in the Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 initiative, our Campus Sustainability Plan will reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and continue to engage our staff and student community in sustainability.”

Last year, the State Government and 米兰电子 City Council together committed to the City of 米兰电子 reaching zero net emissions to become the world’s first carbon neutral city.

The Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 Action Plan 2016 – 2021 sets out the main ways emissions will be reduced, through improving the energy efficiency of city buildings and infrastructure; decarbonising transport and changing the way people travel to and in the city; increasing the use of renewable energy; and reducing emissions from waste and water.

Once cost effective carbon reduction opportunities have been exhausted, remaining emissions will be offset through accredited carbon offsets, with a program being developed to create and support the development of a carbon sequestration industry in South Australia, which will deliver additional economic and environmental benefits.

The Action Plan will be delivered through a partnership model, designed to build community commitment to emissions reduction and help all city users share practical ways to reduce emissions. Specialist partners will commit to early adoption of ideas or technology and lead behaviour change and share their experiences.

“米兰电子 is full of dynamic, committed businesses, community groups and individuals who are working to improve sustainability and the Carbon Neutral Action Plan 2016 – 2021 will further build on our reputation as a world leader in climate change action,” says Premier Weatherill.

Lord Mayor Haese says: “The City of 米兰电子 has long been a leader in sustainability and the Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 Action Plan 2016-2021 is a firm commitment to see this taken to the next level. We look forward to working with partners to achieve a Carbon Neutral 米兰电子 together.”
