The Â鶹AV Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2020-2025 sets the framework to achieve meaningful changes on our campuses in the next five years. Building off the success of previous action plans and other strategic documents, the Strategy was informed by consultations with students, staff, and faculty.
The content of the Strategy is structured around eight categories: Research & Education, Buildings & Utilities, Waste Management, Travel & Commuting, Food Systems, Procurement, Landscapes & Ecosystems, and Community Building. Each category includes one objective, one flagship action, and a series of complementary actions. Additionally, each category highlights ways students, staff, and faculty can get involved and contribute to a sustainable Â鶹AV.
Woven throughout the Strategy are two transversal themes: Climate Mitigation & Adaptation, and Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion. These are the two foundational pillars in which we choose to anchor our practice of sustainability.
In addition to the two long-term targets established in Vision 2020 – achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and attain a Platinum sustainability rating by 2030 a third long-term target has been added: to become zero-waste by 2035. The category objectives as well as the action items in the Strategy, are structured to support the achievement of our three long-term targets.
