University of Illinois System's reported carbon emissions

The University of Illinois System currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. As of now, there are no documented commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the university may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Without specific figures or targets, it is challenging to assess their current impact or future goals regarding carbon emissions.
