The University of California improves the lives of people in California and around the world through world-class educational opportunities, groundbreaking research, top-rated health care and agricultural expertise.

The University of California

38

UC campuses have been reporting to TCR since at least as far back as 2009 UC’s Sustainability Policy ties directly to TCR methodology for measuring GHG footprint UCOP and all 10 campuses report separately as part of our system-wide membership UC Office of the President has been reporting annual GHG emissions to TCR and undergoing third-party verification since 2013 Climate Registered

Mission

University of California’s buildings and fleets will become net carbon neutral by 2025.

Vision

The University of California is developing scalable solutions to build the low-carbon future our research has proven to be imperative.

UC Carbon Neutrality

Policy

UC’s Sustainability Policy includes sections on Clean Energy (Energy Efficiency, On-campus Renewable Electricity, Off-campus Clean Electricity, and On-campus Combustion), Green Building and Transportation

40

= Smart Growth

UC’s Carbon Neutrality Strategies

= Energy efficiency + conservation = On-site renewable energy = Utility-scale clean electricity = Biomethane = Cap and trade compliance offsets = Off-campus carbon reduction actions

Electric Power Sector Reporting

• In 2014, UC became a Registered Electric

Service Provider in California

• Goals included price transparency, cost

causation, and ability to enter long-term agreements for Renewable Power Carbon Intensity of UC-Supplied Electricity

• Allows us to self-supply a significant portion electricity

consumed across the system

• Campus emissions reduced using utility-specific

emissions factor in CRIS

• Target is 0 lbs CO2/MWh for 2019 and beyond

Highlights carbon reduction opportunities

Key Takeaways

Transparency

Public reporting enhances transparency and recognition of UC actions in support of carbon neutrality goal

Insight

Third party verification of reported GHG Emissions fosters credibility and accuracy
