According to a press release from last week, Johns Hopkins University says it plans to cut the school's carbon dioxide emissions in half over the next 15 years. University officials announced one of the more ambitious sustainability initiatives in higher education, with a goal of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by more than half by 2025. The plan also calls for creation of an Environment, Sustainability and Health Institute. Officials state they will invest more than $73 million in conservation and efficiency measures.
In addition the university recently added a new undergraduate major and minor in global environmental change and sustainability as well as a new master's degree in energy policy and climate.
