The University of Pennsylvania has released the Climate & Sustainability Action Plan 4.0 – FY25 Progress Report. The report, the first of five that the University has committed to publishing between FY25 and FY29, shares actions the University took over the last fiscal year to advance goals set out in its Climate & Sustainability Action Plan 4.0 (CSAP 4.0), the University’s roadmap to addressing environmental challenges over the next five years.

For the first time in Penn Sustainability’s reporting history, it gathered and provided detailed accomplishments for both the University’s main campus and other major property holdings, including Penn’s Health System, Morris Arboretum & Gardens, New Bolton Center, and Penn’s owned real estate portfolio. On the main campus, net emissions fell by 4.5% between FY24 and FY25 and have dropped by 49% since FY09. Read more about the CSAP 4.0 within Penn Today.
