Climate Action Plan
Costa Rica
Climate smart initiatives to reduce Co2 emissions
What we do and our impact
- Operate as a Carbon Neutral Study Abroad Organization
- Support Rainforest and Ecosystem Conservation Projects
- Offset the on-site CO2 emissions created by students and faculty during CEPA study abroad programs
- CEPA is listed on the UN website as an official signatory of the initiative.
- By supporting our partner in Costa Rica who is planting, monitoring, and maintaining the trees, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but also protecting the region's biodiversity and creating new jobs which, in turn, will help discourage illegal logging.
