About
Northern Kentucky University underscores its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by joining the Cincinnati 2030 District, which is part of an international network of cities developing a new model for urban sustainability. NKU is the first organization in Kentucky to join this collective.
The 2030 District cities collaborate on common goals to reduce building energy use, water consumption, and transportation emissions by 50% by 2030. Facilitated locally by Green Umbrella, the Cincinnati 2030 District provides private-public partnerships and resources to help advance sustainability goals. The Cincinnati 2030 District is also focused on increasing occupant health by 50%, in addition to the overarching district goals. The organization’s commitment to sustainability aligns with NKU’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
