Large Organizations and Institutions Implementation Committee
Bethlehem is home to many world-class organizations and institutions, spanning the academic, health care, and arts sectors. Many of these organizations and institutions are quite akin to small cities, with buildings and facilities, transportation systems, waste management programs, and open space resources to manage—and leverage—to achieve the city’s climate goals. These organizations and institutions play a critical role in driving climate action in Bethlehem by managing large real estate assets and the broad and diverse stakeholder base that makes up their students, patients, visitors, patrons, and employees.
The Large Organizations and Institutions Implementation Committee meets with the ideas and goals from this section in mind.
Phases

- Hire a program administrator
- Develop a Bethlehem Carbon Challenge (LO1.2)
- A voluntary leadership initiative between the Mayor’s Office and the city’s private, public, and not-for-profit organizations, institutions, and businesses to commit to achieving carbon reduction goals more ambitious than the city’s overall carbon reduction goal.
- Clearly demonstrate the potential to achieve rapid, substantial carbon emissions reductions by implementing energy efficiency, renewable energy, low-carbon transportation, and waste reduction initiatives.
