It quantifies this in both metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent and the percent of progress towards net zero. As a result, the plan realistically lays out the steps necessary to achieve its goals, defining a clear path for implementation.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The plan explains its sphere of influence.\u00a0<\/b>It describes how the university fits into the state of Pennsylvania, the city of Pittsburgh, and its university network. It then considers its ability to influence change in these concentric spheres.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>This CAP is value-driven.\u00a0<\/b>It provides a breakdown of their strategy into three major themes: Enhance Academic Mission, Advance Equitable Action, and Ensure Economic Resilience. Each decarbonization strategy is connected to those three themes.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Engages a diverse group of stakeholders in the planning process.\u00a0<\/b>The planning committee for the PittCAP included representatives from the facilities, athletics, purchasing, and real estate departments. Including diverse voices in the planning process ensures campus-wide participation, engagement, and success.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The PittCAP makes use of compelling graphics.\u00a0<\/b>For example, the pie chart on page 14 shows a breakdown of 2019 GHG emissions by scope and category. This makes clear which categories are the largest sources of emissions and thus the most impactful for achieving net zero.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Special Considerations for writing a CAP for a Large School<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consider how your institution\u2019s projected growth will impact the ability to reach decarbonization goals.<\/b>\u00a0The PittCAP addresses the reduction in emissions per FTE on page 16.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make your large workforce a positive driver for change with specific delegation.\u00a0<\/b>Larger schools have larger staff capacity to delegate decarbonization strategies to. This CAP does a good job of identifying the actions in each strategy and listing who will lead them, as well as the key stakeholders of such changes.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consider supporting sustainable research with green labs or smart labs.\u00a0<\/b>Because large schools are often research institutions, laboratory buildings comprise a large opportunity for energy reduction use on campus.

They also integrate Climate Action Planning with other plans being developed at the institution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Special Considerations for Writing a CAP with Consultants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Put out a request for proposals (RFP) to generate a pool of the most qualified consultants.\u00a0<\/b>Refer to the Second Nature guidelines on writing an RFP for climate action planning consultants.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Be clear about the goals or themes you want to prioritize.\u00a0<\/b>Describe your desire for climate justice and resilience to be woven into your CAP and select a vendor who has the knowledge and qualifications necessary to prioritize them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Writing a CAP Centered Around Climate Justice\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consider the history of the land that your institution occupies, and how your current practices are rooted in colonialism.<\/b>\u00a0PCC\u2019s CAP acknowledges how their climate solutions to-date use stolen land. \u201cBy bringing attention to this history, PCC brings accountability to its climate justice work. It is an active commitment that includes supporting Indigenous sovereignty; promoting honest dialogue around race, racism and colonization; and action to end systemic oppression by interrupting white supremacy culture in the many ways it manifests, degrades and dehumanizes.\u201d (pg1)<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make the language you use to communicate DEIAJ accessible to readers of all backgrounds.<\/b>\u00a0PCC includes a glossary defining key terms that their audience needs to know in order to understand the CAP.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoid siloing social justice away from climate action planning.\u00a0<\/b>PCC considers how climate action can support existing social justice initiatives on campus, such as Pathways to Opportunity and Yes to Equitable Student Success.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Link climate science to impacts on marginalized communities.<\/b>\u00a0PCC regularly references how their goals line up with the Paris Agreement\u2019s goal to not exceed 1.5 degrees of warming. Each time they mention the temperature increase, they also reference the impact it will have on island communities. This gives the number weight and context, reminding readers of the human lives and livelihoods that are at risk.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make use of existing resources to help you best incorporate social and racial justice into your CAP.\u00a0<\/b>PCC used the Critical Race Theory (CRT) Decision Making Toolkit to help structure their meetings in an equitable way.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Take concrete steps to integrate climate justice in your planning process.<\/b>\u00a0PCC hosted equity trainings for their CAP taskforce participants, had an equity evaluator present at most planning meetings, used the CRT Decision Making Toolkit consensus guidelines, and consulted with the Office of Equity and Inclusion throughout the process.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Assess what your students need, and consider how those needs might intersect with climate justice and equity.<\/b>\u00a0\u201cAccording to Temple University\u2019s HOPE Center, more than 63% of community college students reported some basic needs insecurity in the last year,\u201d so PCC wanted their CAP to address students\u2019 food insecurity as part of their approach to climate resilience (pg 11). They include food sovereignty and food justice as one of their Goal 4 strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Notes on Implementation of CAP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The PCC planning process included sustainability initiatives in the budget, so they were ready to apply for funding.\u00a0<\/b>When the college completed their strategic plan and released high-priority funding opportunities, the sustainability committee was prepared to apply.

They recognize that some larger and more expensive goals would be better achieved by working with the entire college system, such as issuing an RFP on behalf of all MCCCD colleges. They are involved with the schools, businesses, nonprofits, and hospitals in their community.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Solicit stakeholder feedback and work to address them.\u00a0<\/b>GCC sent out a survey to solicit feedback on their CAP. Most students felt strongly opposed to parking fees, one of the central strategies for reducing commuter-based emissions. GCC thus developed a plan for public education around why it is critical to reduce commuter emissions. They also created online discussion boards to facilitate open communication about the proposed plan.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Detailed and achievable goals.\u00a0<\/b>Each goal includes a list of granular objectives, a detailed timeline, and a forecast of its resulting emission reductions.

GCC wrote a detailed plan for encouraging behavior change among commuter students which includes both \u201ccarrots\u201d (incentives) and \u201csticks\u201d (added costs). One of their strengths is that they try to understand why commuters make the decisions that they do, and to offer alternatives that address their needs. For example, they know that students are likely to commute between multiple campuses, and plan to change course offerings to consolidate schedules to one campus per day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Notes on Implementation of CAP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">The CAP acknowledges that the implementation of parking fees would be unpopular and would require budget approval.

Oberlin created a committee of the General Faculty to act as advisors to the administration, a liaison between faculty and administration, and a policy development group.
