Track Climate Action Progress With New OCA Dashboard


Rutgers has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2040 and carbon-negative -- removing more greenhouse gases than we are putting into the atmosphere -- no later than the university's 275th anniversary in 2041.


Monitoring and reporting Rutgers’ energy use is a key step in ensuring that we are on track to meeting this goal. This dashboard is the first in a series of sustainability dashboards that will be developed. Learn more.


Special thanks to Anis Ghossain, Data Management and Visualization Specialist for OCA and Denise Heeter, Senior Energy Analysis Specialist for IP&O.
