University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus has a mission to improve humanity by preventing illness, saving lives, educating health professionals and scientists, advancing science, and serving our communities. Sustainability and human health are inextricably linked, so Anschutz Medical Campus has set stringent and impactful goals to reduce our ecological footprint.

The campus’s efforts are centered on achieving Net Zero by 2050. In working towards carbon neutrality, the campus is developing two stringent strategies: the Energy Master Plan (EMP) and the Climate Action Plan (CAP).
