Sustainable Development Goals

Presentation

UW campus sustainability is a significant part of the University of Washington's educational mission, due in large part to student demand, engagement and activism.

Objectives

The office was established to:

  • raise university-wide visibility for sustainability,
  • improve access of information to all stakeholders,
  • track and communicate about sustainability metrics, conservation programs and initiatives. 

Main activities

The Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability office coordinates information and activities across the University to facilitate initiatives within three campus locations, medical centers and auxiliaries.

Innovative aspects

Through centralization, this approach mitigates institutional risk through coordinating dialogue and building consensus for strategic planning.

Achievements

ISCN 2014 Award for "Excellence in Integration"
