The University of Massachusetts Amherst recognizes that the fulfillment of its mission has a far reaching impact on the environment, including climate change. To insure that our campus is doing everything feasible to reduce its environmental footprint and become a more environmentally-responsible institution, I am charging the newly established Environmental Performance Advisory Committee (EPAC) with the following tasks:
-
Assess ways to reduce environmental impacts of the campus in a manner which incorporates sound business practices;
-
Enhance the campus' ability to gather, track, and analyze environmental performance data and related information and develop report documents;
- Develop a 5 to 10 year plan to reduce the campus’ carbon footprint based upon current benchmarks;
-
Devise a comprehensive and common-sense way to foster environmental stewardship across the entire organization among and within campus departments, both operational and academic; and
-
Advise the Chancellor's Executive Board on all matters related to campus environmental performance including adjustments to operating policies and/or practices.
For information concerning the Environmental Performance Advisory Committee, please contact Josh Stoffel at jstoffel@admin.umass.edu;
(413) 545-1188.
