The guide and this accompanying online toolkit will enable universities and colleges to accelerate the planning and implementation of net zero strategies, and act as living laboratories for testing solutions. These resources will be applicable to universities and colleges of different sizes and regions, as well as decarbonization experiences and progress, equipping them with both the knowledge (via the guide) and tools (via the toolkit) they need to accelerate their climate action plans, while creating new communities of practice.
Net Zero on Campus Guide
Net Zero on Campus Guide strictly dives into the decarbonization of campus operations. The guide offers both “why” and “how-to” information, outlining both the steps of the decarbonization journey, as well as practical campus initiatives across action areas.
Although its findings are applicable to all relevant stakeholders, the desired audience of the guide consists of: campus sustainability managers, university board members and directors, and student bodies.

Online Toolkit
As an appendix to the guide, this online toolkit provides a wide array of examples of open-source resources that can support the planning and implementation of decarbonization efforts on college and university campuses worldwide. The online toolkit offers both resources and case studies that are categorized by each campus action area: energy, mobility, facilities, waste and recycling, procurement, and beyond campus operations.
This toolkit aims to serve as a central repository of key existing resources for net zero campus efforts that would otherwise need to be found and accessed separately.
The report and toolkit will be officially launched at an online event on 21st of April.
