About the ACUPCC
Launched in 2007, the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) is a network of more than 675 signatory schools, representing all fifty states and the District of Columbia. This high-visibility effort to address global warming garners institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth's climate. The ACUPCC is led by a Steering Committee comprised of 29 university and college presidents, including ice co-chairs. Second Nature, a Boston-based national nonprofit organization, is the lead supporting organization of the ACUPCC.
