Our Performance

Temple is committed to Climate Action

In 2019, Temple embarked on a new chapter in its climate leadership - updating its Climate Action Plan with a clear path to carbon neutrality and strategies for building a more resilient university. It is a framework for advancing a holistic approach to sustainability and resilience. It sets forth measurable goals with defined timeframes, university-wide standards, and guiding principles for action.

Our goals are divided into five focus areas. Discover more about our progress and strategic initiatives in the chapters below.
