Attached Files:Provost describes iCAP in space inventory letter
Associated Project(s):Provost Andreas Cangellaris included this statement about the iCAP in the April 2019 letter (attached) to colleges and instructional units about the Space Inventory:
"I also want to take this opportunity to recap several campus initiatives regarding space stewardship. As you may be aware, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign established the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) in May 2010 and updated the document in 2015. The document outlines strategies, initiatives, and targets toward meeting the stated goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. The targets and strategies detailed in the plan represent a series of commitments the University is making in order to achieve its sustainability goals, including the Net Zero Space Growth Policy as found in the CAM. I encourage you to review our commitments as outlined in the climate action plan and the Net Zero Space Growth Policy"

Attached Files:Sustainability interns continue work updating iCAP Portal project pages
Associated Project(s):CEE students Chenxi Jiang and Shuang Chen are working with Morgan Johnston to edit the iCAP Portal project pages for each iCAP objective. Chapters 8-12 do not have SWATeams, and the background research on these chapters has been completed. The edited project pages are scheduled to be online by the end of March. The next step is editing the iCAP objectives for each SWATeam chapter in the iCAP. Chenxi and Shaung will be meeting with SWATeam representatives over the next few weeks to gather information, and then the project pages will be edited to reflect the latest info. We expect to be able to complete this before Earth Day on April 22, 2017.
