LGLG Committee to Develop Climate Action Plan
In spring 2009, the LGLG committee began developing FSU's first Climate Action Plan. The plan will include a target date for achieving climate neutrality as well as interim milestones. The LGLG committee has devoted significant effort in recent months in developing a cohesive CAP. The plan will include information on campus emissions and mitigation strategies; educational, research, and community outreach efforts; and a plan for financing and tracking progress.
