To read more about this commitment, please see the ACUPCC website.

In June of 2007, President Peter Donohue signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, which "is a high-visibility effort to address global warming by garnering institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions, and to accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth’s climate" (ACUPCC).

In an effort to ensure that the University stays true to this commitment, Fr. Donohue assembled a President's Climate Commitment Team, which consists of a variety of environmentally-minded faculty, staff and students from within the Villanova University community.

The team is broken into two parts:

• The Core Team, which meets monthly to work on implementing the President's Climate Commitment
• The Board, which serves in an advisory capacity to assist the Core Team.
