Sustainability Month

SDGs.

Sustainability Month is an international celebration of sustainability in higher education. Join us all month long!

The pandemic, climate induced extreme weather, the rise of artificial intelligence, democracy under threat, and conflicts across the globe have all continued to destabilize the world these last few years. But our university has also shown a streak of radical pragmatic idealism and we are ready and prepared to lead. We are making the changes necessary and building the world we seek. In recognition of you this sustainability month, the university is lifting up our community's good work in advancing climate action, building resiliency, and making the world a more just and equitable place.
