1. Sustainability at CNM President’s Sustainability & Climate Control Task Force

2. President’s Commitment  Accordingly, we commit our institutions to taking the following steps in pursuit of climate neutrality: 1.Initiate the development of a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible. 2.Initiate two tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gases while the more comprehensive plan is being developed.  Establish a policy that all new campus construction will be built to at least the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver standard or equivalent.  Encourage use of and provide access to public transportation for all faculty, staff, students and visitors at our institution 3.Make the action plan, inventory, and periodic progress reports publicly available.  Accordingly, we commit our institutions to taking the following steps in pursuit of climate neutrality: 1.Initiate the development of a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible. 2.Initiate two tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gases while the more comprehensive plan is being developed.  Establish a policy that all new campus construction will be built to at least the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver standard or equivalent.  Encourage use of and provide access to public transportation for all faculty, staff, students and visitors at our institution 3.Make the action plan, inventory, and periodic progress reports publicly available.
