Climate Planning

Shared governance across UWM endorsed the Climate Action-Carbon & Resilience Plan in the Spring of 2022. The plan features an assessment of UWM’s strengths and vulnerabilities in the face of current and future climate challenges, provides proactive solutions to reduce emissions and minimize future environmental impacts (mitigation) and lays out responses to climate impacts we cannot avoid (adaptation).

Upon endorsement, the Office of Sustainability began to form implementation teams around Catalyic Projects identified for each Scope of Emissions (sources of emissions) and Asset of Resilience (what is most affected by changing climatic patterns). Implementation work will continue in FY23. The full plan can be found on UWM’s ISSUU site
