Carleton University has been recognised as the only university in Canada to achieve the Bronze Tier in the Government of Canada\u2019\u00a0Net-Zero Challenge<\/a>, a significant milestone that reflects Carleton\u2019s leadership in climate action and sustainability.<\/p>\n

This achievement is closely aligned with the university\u2019s\u00a0Energy Master Plan<\/a>, which outlines a path toward deep emissions reductions, energy efficiency, and the transition to a low-carbon campus. Carleton\u2019s participation in the Net-Zero Challenge reinforces its commitment to transparent reporting and the setting of science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets.<\/p>\n

As federal sustainability requirements become increasingly integrated into procurement and funding processes, Carleton\u2019s leadership ensures it is well-positioned to meet evolving expectations while continuing to advance institutional and shared national climate goals.<\/p>\n

This recognition highlights Carleton\u2019s role as a leader in post-secondary climate action and its ongoing efforts to build a sustainable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
