NOTABLE NEWSSecond Nature & UNHSI Enhanced Partnership AnnouncementLast week we announced that we are expanding on our partnership with the University of New Hampshire Sustainability Institute (UNHSI) to be able to offer higher education institutions a more integrated platform (SIMAP®) for tracking and reporting carbon emissions. The end goal is that by providing this more robust tool to colleges and universities, it will allow them to accelerate their progress towards reaching their campus climate goes. And, through this partnership, Climate Leadership Network signatories will all have free access to SIMAP. The platform is due to launch in January 2022, after beta testing takes place in December 2021. Climate Leadership Network signatories - Interested in being a beta tester? You can sign-up below!
