Highlighting signatories of the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC)
competing in the 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament

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.

About Green Brackets
A high percentage of the schools competing in the men's and women's division I college basketball tournament are ACUPCC signatories. The goal of Green Brackets is to highlight these schools in both their athletic and sustainability efforts.

We highlight signatory schools that make the division I men's and women's college basketball tournament. Follow along as the tournament progresses to see how ACUPCC schools fare, and click on any signatory school name to view its Implementation Profile in the public ACUPCC Reporting System.
