University of Windsor's reported carbon emissions

The University of Windsor currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures for the most recent year. Consequently, there are no recorded emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any documented reduction targets or climate pledges at this time. In the context of climate commitments, the University of Windsor has not outlined specific initiatives or targets related to carbon emissions reduction. This lack of data suggests that the institution may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. As the university progresses in its sustainability efforts, it may consider establishing measurable targets aligned with industry standards, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to enhance its climate action framework.
