Climate Goals
What We Want to Achieve
The goals outlined in the Climate Action Plan are ambitious and designed to inspire innovation and continuous improvement. Each goal is supported by a number of activities currently underway or planned throughout the district. Strong district support for meeting climate goals not only lowers emissions, but promotes healthier learning and work environments.
