  Dear President Rawlings,
  
  I would like to convey the Student Assembly’s 20th resolution of the year to you.This resolution seeks to support Cornell University’s commitment to carbon neutrality by a firm deadline of 2035 and push for transparent, shared decision-making in reaching carbon 8 neutrality through the creation of a publicly accessible platform for annual update reports.
  
  Resolution 20 is Student Assembly’s Support for and Input on “Options for Achieving a Carbon Neutral Campus by 2035.”
  
  This resolution expresses the Student Assembly’s support for the efforts of SLCAG and Cornell University in obtaining carbon neutrality by 2035. The Student Assembly would also like to request that SLCAG engage in clear communication with the Cornell community and aim for transparency when pursuing the different options outlined within the Options for Achieving a Carbon Neutral Campus by 2035 report by providing updates on the progress of these initiatives.The Student Assembly would also like to request that a single centralized platform to share resources and updates on Cornell University’s goal of carbon neutrality be created. Finally, the Student Assembly requests that an annual public forum with members of SLCAG be held. We request that this be facilitated by the Cornell Campus Sustainability Office and the Environmental Collaborative.
  
  Thank You,
  
  Jordan Berger
