Welcome to the Sustainability Office at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ,Ìýthe central hub for sustainability action and information onÌýcampus. We work to integrate sustainability thinking and climateÌýaction into academics, operations, and engagement.
Sustainability issues like the climate crisis affect everyone, causing extreme weather, economic insecurity, and health and wellbeing impacts locally and globally – disproportionally so for marginalized and racialized people.ÌýThe University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community has an essential role to play in advancing a low-carbon, equitable, and resilient future. Not only does À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ have a large environmental footprint, it also has enormous potential to tap into the collective talent, skill, and innovative mindset of the campus community that will have ripple effects around the world.
From important individual actions to systems changes, we are working with leadership, staff, students, and faculty to build a more sustainable campus together.Ìý
