The Carbon Neutral University – A University Energy Strategy Based on Science
Huw Birch, Liam Hardy, Christopher Rosslowe, Christian Unger
Published online: 24 July 2014
Abstract
This paper sets out the case for a Carbon Neutral University of Sheffield within a given timescale and its importance to the global carbon budget. Carbon reduction targets should be based directly on the science involved, demonstrating feasibility and inspiring change across the international community.
1. Climate Science and the Carbon Budget,
2. Climate Science at the University of Sheffield,
3. Current University Carbon Emissions Targets are not in alignment with the 2C carbon budget,
4. Aim higher - go carbon neutral
