Delighted to kick of #AASHE26 with a tour of @swarthmorecollege.bsky.social's geoexchange system in the company of my longtime collaborator Dr. Aaron Strong from Hamilton College.

Two biogeochemists turned climate action researchers standing in front of a lot of conduit and pipe.

On the 🚆to #AASHE26. Emma Coopersmith and I will be talking about the lab's research on decarbonization in U.S. Higher Education. Find out who is leading on decarbonization and how we can use funding tools to accelerate the transition.

Acting on (and Funding) Decarbonization Across Higher Education

Monday, 5 Oct 2026 4:30 pm - 5:15 pm AASHE 2026 in Baltimore

This presentation will share insights about the ongoing sector-wide pivot towards substantial decarbonization of campus heating systems. About 400 U.S. schools are active in the Second Nature commitment for carbon neutrality but our prior research has shown the original framework has not been uniformly leading to the climate actions we need. For example, across U.S. higher education, the median reduction in Scope 1 emissions is only about 10%, with ⅓ of institutions reporting emissions growth. We will present our updated analysis of ~22 U.S. HEIs that have already announced achieving carbon neutrality. For Scope 1 (direct) emissions reductions, roughly 69% of claimed emissions reductions came from offsets, with some schools using offsets for over 100% of baseline emissions. At the same time, our research shows that decarbonization is possible and happening at a range of institutions. Roughly 17 schools are predicted to reduce emissions 50-90% by 2030 (7 of them already have) and we have documented many more large-scale campus decarbonization projects underway. We will discuss features of successful routes to decarbonization and discuss the range of funding approaches we see used to pay for these systems.
