Progress through FY22 on the University-wide Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 3. 0 sustainability goals. Progress on the construction of a solar energy project, completion of a carbon footprint for Penn’s real estate holdings, and the first purchase of carbon offsets for Penn’s air travel are significant achievements for progress against the goals of the University of Pennsylvania’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 3. 0 completed in FY22, says the Penn Sustainability Office. The Penn Sustainability Office has just released the Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 3. 0 FY22 Annual Report, based on data and metrics for fiscal year 2022 gathered from across many academic and administrative units at the University. The Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 3. 0 FY22 Annual Report documents Penn’s progress towards the goals of the 2019 Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 3. 0 (CSAP 3. 0), tracking metrics in Academics, Utilities & Operations, Physical Environment, Waste Minimization & Recycling, Purchasing, Transportation, and Outreach & Engagement. As we close out the 4th year of this 5-year plan on our road to sustainability, we mark significant progress with all campus partners, and particularly celebrate our movement forward with our Power Purchase Agreement, and a plan to offset university air travel. With this FY22 sustainability report, Penn continues to provide public, transparent reporting of our sustainability initiatives,” she continued. FY22 Progress: In FY22, Penn reduced overall emissions by 45% and building-related emissions by 45% as compared to the 2009 baseline year. Construction began on the solar energy project that is part of Penn’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Two new solar energy facilities will be built in central Pennsylvania, from which Penn will purchase all the electricity produced – an amount equal to approximately 70% of the total electricity demand of the academic campus and the University of Pennsylvania Health System. FY22 Progress: Penn Sustainability has worked with the Center for Environmental Building & Design (CEBD) and Real Estate to quantify emissions for the Real Estate footprint. Penn Sustainability also created a flow chart for utility data to begin to identify where the carbon emissions from real estate can be quantified. Real Estate will use this information to continue promoting sustainable practices in its buildings. FY22 Progress: Penn Sustainability, in partnership with Urban Park and Penn Housekeeping, created a waste precinct map to help better understand and disseminate building waste and recycling data to identify strategic opportunities for increased diversion. A truck with a scale has been obtained to start collecting monthly data for open-top trash and recycling dumpsters.
