Progress towards MIT's Greenhouse Gas Goal 2018
Two page information handout on progress to MIT's GHG goals in 2018.
MIT continues to advance towards its 2015 goal of a 32% reduction in campus greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. Compared to 2017, net emissions, which account for the offset by the solar power purchase, have fallen 4.5%, bringing the total net emissions reduction to 20% below our 2014 baseline. Although on-campus gross emissions (which do not account for the solar energy purchase) increased 3% from 2017 to 2018, these emissions have dropped a total of 4% since 2014.
