Each semester, students in the Carbon Clinic serve as consultants to complete carbon footprint analyses for leading regional businesses, nonprofits and communities. It's an exciting opportunity for students to gain expertise and experience in sought-after environmental reporting skills and for companies, non-profits and municipalities to gain capacity and knowledge to advance their climate goals. The Clinic leverages the Sustainability Institute’s expertise and investment in the Sustainability Indicator Management and Analysis Platform (SIMAP), an online platform used by more than 500 organizations worldwide to understand, communicate, and manage their carbon and nitrogen footprints.
We're pleased to introduce the Spring 2023 Carbon Clinic student teams and our partner organizations.
