Illinois Climate Action Plan
The Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) is the campus’s strategic plan for achieving carbon neutrality, or net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, if not sooner. The iCAP is a roadmap — with explicit, achievable steps — toward fulfilling our commitments to a sustainable campus.
iCAP 2020, the third update to the Illinois Climate Action Plan, contains 56 SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based) objectives organized into eight key themes: Energy, Transportation, Land & Water, Zero Waste, Education, Engagement, Resilience, and Implementation.

With the dedication, passion, and hard work of our campus and community, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign can become a model for innovative, progressive environmental stewardship.
