As part of ongoing “green” initiatives at Bard College, president Leon Botstein signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment in 2008, along with more than 600 academic leaders. Botstein pledged that Bard would address the global climate crisis by shrinking its carbon footprint and integrating sustainability into the curricula. During 2008, Bard completed a comprehensive inventory of its annual greenhouse gas emissions on all College-owned properties, including Bard College at Simon’s Rock: The Early College. The results of this extensive study have been key in drafting the College’s climate action plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.
