Carbon Footprint
This GHG inventory represents an important piece of University of North Carolina Wilmington’s (UNCW’s) efforts to be a leader in higher education sustainability by measuring its contribution of GHG emissions. It will be a tool for UNCW to identify, prioritize, and track efforts to reduce GHG emissions over time. The inventory includes all activities and facilities under the operational control of UNCW, including the main campus, the Center for Marine Science, and a number of leased and owned facilities at dispersed locations, including the Harbor Island Research Facility, Aquarius Reef Base in Key Largo, and the Airlie Commons.
