Campus Sustainability

Campus Sustainability refers to the practices and initiatives undertaken by educational institutions to promote environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic viability within their campus operations and community interactions. This concept encompasses a wide range of efforts aimed at reducing the ecological footprint of campuses, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable transportation, water conservation, and the use of renewable resources. Campus sustainability also involves integrating environmental education into the curriculum, engaging students and staff in sustainability initiatives, and fostering a culture of sustainability among the campus community. The overarching goal is to create a living and learning environment that is not only environmentally responsible but also supports the well-being and development of present and future generations.
