Established in 2020, Sustainable Carolina is the UNC Institute for the Environment’s team of professionals tasked with collaborating with campus partners to build and balance societal well-being, ecological integrity, and economic prosperity now and into the future. True sustainability requires a concerted, interdisciplinary effort between all departments, offices, and individuals. As the hub for sustainability at UNC, we are developing new ways to engage the UNC community and provide updates on the University’s progress. This report is designed to provide highlights of sustainability endeavors across campus through a broad lens while we continue to zoom in on all of the great sustainability work through our website, newsletter, and social media posts. UNC released a draft version of an updated Climate Action Plan this year. The original Climate Action Plan was published in 2009. Since then, 75% of the near-term strategies have been implemented. The new plan declares a carbon neutrality goal of 2040 and details current strategies to reach this more am- bitous goal. Feedback on the plan was collected and addressed, and a final version of the plan has been released. Strategies include replacing fossil fuels with cleaner power sources, increasing building efficien- cy across campus, and adding more electric vehicle charging stations. UNC is working towards the energy efficiency goal set by Governor Cooper’s Eexecutive Order 80: a 40% reduction in energy use intensity (EUI) of state-owned buildings by 2025. EUI is a measure of energy use per square foot of building space. Since 2003, UNC has decreased EUI by 36% as a result of constructing more energy efficient new buidings and the efficiency efforts of UNC’s Energy Management. Energy Managemnt continues to promote energy conservation through new building construction, major building renovation projects, and LED light- ing upgrades.
