Despite hundreds of Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) pledging action against climate change, there is little research on how to effectively enable these initiatives. This study utilizes a survey to analyze the role of greenhouse gas inventories (GHGI) in climate change mitigation within IHE. Among 62 responses, 46 indicated GHGI was helpful in decisions regarding emission reduction measures; 54 reported having a climate action plan (CAP) or sustainability policy (SP); 49 used GHGI in forming the CAP/SP. 95% of the respondents signed the ACUPCC pledge. When GHGI was used the IHE was more likely to have higher emission reductions (above 10%) than when the GHGI was not (10% and below). GHGI helped institutions in: identifying sources and quantifying emissions; saving costs; monitoring emissions reduction; raising awareness about climate change; and teaching. This study suggests how IHE stakeholders can better enable GHGIs and implement impactful climate change initiatives.
