Not zero, net zero: Universities, institutes work towards reducing carbon footprint on campuses
From purchasing power from “green generators” to allowing only solar operated vehicles for in-campus transportation and installing waste treatment plants in premises, universities and institutes across the country are taking strides to reduce their carbon footprint.
On the occasion of fifth anniversary of the Paris Climate agreement, vice chancellors of 12 leading universities and higher education institutions took a single-focused voluntary pledge called “Not zero, net zero” to develop the roadmap towards making their campuses carbon neutral.
Over 250 universities and institutions have joined the initiative since then.
