Since fiscal year 2019, ASU has been carbon neutral for scope 1 and 2 emissions. ASU has achieved this through: Energy efficiency. Green construction. Offsetting. Renewable energy acquisition. ASU will work to reduce the need for offsets through its efforts to decarbonize over the next several years. Achieving Carbon Neutrality at ASU Case Study.

Earth systems and climate science research in ASU’s School of Geographical Science and Urban Planning covers a variety of spatial and temporal scales, from investigations of current urban climate systems to the long-term climatic variability at the landscape scale.

As climate change accelerates globally and locally, Arizona State University will need to be resilient to a variety of climate impacts, including: Changing precipitation patterns and drought. Flooding. Increasing heat and urban heat island effect.
