In an effort to accelerate Franklin’s road to carbon neutrality, the Green Office launched the Academic Travel Carbon Trading Program in August 2022. The innovative stakeholder carbon market was highly effective, enabling the 2022 – 23 Academic Travel Program to offset much of the carbon emissions generated by the Fall and Spring semester trips, which included the courses and destinations listed in the tables below.
For a full summary of the ACT Program up to date, please see the 2022-23 ACT Program Summary Report.
