Engaging the Campus CalCAP was kicked off in early 2005 by an undergraduate student Brooke Owyang, Professor Dan Kammen, and Scott Zimmermann, with support from Tom Kelly at KyotoUSA. They put together a petition isupported by students, faculty, and administrators from across the campus calling for us to take responsibility for our GHG emissions. |

“Any effort to bring about wide-scale participation must be responsive to the existence of three predominant subcultures that exist within universities – faculty, administration and student organizational cultures. Evidence suggests that the greatest leverage in achieving institutional change occurs when all three subcultures or groups have a shared vision and a sense of organizational alignment in their respective actions.”

The most crucial step was the formation of the CalCAP Steering Committee that brought together a broad constituency from across campus to provide recommendations to the Chancellor. The Steering Committee has reviewed every major direction of the study – a process that ensured an interdisciplinary foundation and formation of recommendations that are visionary yet practical for the UC Berkeley campus. In every committee meeting, we reiterated the goal, technical approach, and analysis plan to maintain the momentum of the project.
