Energy— By 2025, ASU will mitigate 100% of carbon emissions related to energy, 35% of which will come from reductions through demand-side energy and the remaining 65% through supply-side energy (including verifiable carbon offsets) savings. This will be achieved through continuous evaluation of opportunities, technologies and applications; through social shifts such as telecommuting, alternative work schedules, online class offerings and the promotion of on-campus living; through financial considerations such as life-cycle costing; and via facilities actions such as energy use displays, solar installations and the implementation of strict building design guidelines in addition to our LEED mandate.
Transportation— By 2035, ASU will mitigate carbon emissions from transportation by 100% for commuter, university fleet, air/business travel, and shuttle vendor partnerships. This will be achieved through sustainable commuting alternatives such as the U-Pass, Zip-Car; the promotion of programs like the Undergraduate Student Government’s Bike Co-op; the adoption of more efficient campus fleet vehicles; the use of waste oil sourced bio-diesel; and improved access and availability of video conferencing capabilities to reduce business travel, among other initiatives. Throughout the process, ASU vendors and partners will be engaged in the change momentum and encouraged to adopt similar sustainability practices.
Waste— By 2025, ASU will reduce carbon emissions from waste-related emissions by 100% through aversion and diversion practices. This will be achieved through a multi-pronged approach including education and awareness programs, recycling/repurposing, composting, purchasing, and policy decisions.
Additional Sustainable Management Practices— By 2025, ASU will reduce all emissions related to agriculture and refrigerants emissions by 100% through best management practices of campus operations.
Carbon Offsets—While the use of verifiable carbon offsets is necessary to reach net zero carbon emissions, its use for emissions reductions will be applied through long-term strategies and as a last resort through carefully financed options such as Renewable Energy Credits

ASU's School of Sustainability offers bachelor's, master's and PhD programs housed directly within its unit and in collaboration with other departments. In addition to this effort ASU offers 222 climate and sustainability courses by 43 departments from 20 colleges and schools. This effort will be expanded to include additional courses, minors, concentrations and degrees, as well as long-term plans to embed it into the general education requirement. In addition ASU is developing the infrastructure required to foster the integration of successful campus living laboratory projects and real world learning experiences into its curriculum.

Currently ASU has over 70M dollars worth of active research in sustainability and issues directly related to sustainability. This includes the areas of: sustainable urbanization, energy innovations, biodiversity, behavior mechanisms and public policy. ASU recognizes and role and responsibility as a global change agent and continues to expand its climate and sustainability related research programs.

ASU will continue to develop and expand its program supporting student and public outreach and engagement. This includes using the arts as a learning medium, supporting collaborations between cities, and promoting informal learning through lectures and events.
