Campus Collaboration Earns National Climate Action Recognition
CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï has been recognized for its leadership in sustainability, receiving an inaugural Climate Action Milestone from Second Nature for its efforts to better understand and reduce indirect greenhouse gas emissions across campus operations.
The recognition highlights work connected to purchasing, travel, commuting, construction, food systems and waste reduction, all areas where collaboration across departments is helping advance CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï's climate commitments.
The award was made possible through the efforts of sustainability professionals, student interns and campus partners who contributed data, tracked emissions and helped support the university's application. Among those recognized for their contributions were BFI's Josh Radoff, Ed VonBleichert, and Clark Rider, who were acknowledged by Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock for their role in supporting the initiative.
"This recognition is meaningful, but what matters even more is the impact we are having together to advance sustainability at CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï," Mayock shared in a message to campus partners.
The recognition reflects the collective work happening across campus every day to integrate sustainability into operations and decision-making. It also underscores the important role that teams throughout Business, Finance and Infrastructure play in helping CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï meet its climate and sustainability goals.
Congratulations to Josh, Ed and Clark, and all of the campus partners whose dedication and collaboration helped make this achievement possible.
