W&M & UVA Climate Action Partnership

In December 2019, the presidents of the University of Virginia and William & Mary formed a partnership to advance each institution's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. The partnership enables accelerated climate action via the potential to replicate and amplify impacts beyond the two schools through shared resources, knowledge and specific project implementation.

A W&M+UVA Climate Action 2030 Committee consisting of staff, faculty and students from each institution is charged with identifying common opportunities and challenges that benefit both universities' progress toward 2030 neutrality. The Committee is focused on the operational aspects of the carbon neutrality goal and their strong connections to engagement, curriculum and research opportunities. Members have selected renewable energy, capital projects and fleet management as initial areas for collaboration.
