Ghosh previously was a visiting community scholar in VCU’s L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs.
Earlier this year, President Eugene P. Trani signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, an initiative to reduce the global emission of greenhouse gases by 80 percent by the middle of the century in order to avert the worst impacts of global warming.
Ghosh will spearhead the development and implementation of a plan to guide the university’s goal. A comprehensive inventory of all VCU greenhouse gas emissions is to be completed by May 15, 2009 and the development of an institutional climate action plan is to be completed by the following year.
