"If any sector of society has the potential to model the transition to a low-carbon future, it is higher education. With their depth of expertise, innovative research and societal influence, colleges and universities have been at the forefront in addressing global warming. As living laboratories, campuses have developed and implemented cutting-edge energy conservation practices and clean power technologies. Of even greater importance, they are educating future generations of engineers, architects, scientists, business leaders, teachers, government officials and citizens to create effective solutions to global warming."
