Schools will be supported with resources from OFS, Campus Services, and other Central Administration departments, including, but not limited to, tracking methods, case studies, resource guides, and communications strategies. “We played to to translate research and teaching into practice on Organizations, including Harvard University, must ask themselves: “How will these important determinants of well-being be explicitly considered in our sustainable development plans?” and “What steps will we take on our campus to manage this full range of assets so as to benefit human well-being over the long term?” In Harvard’s case, grappling with these questions becomes a device for asking what we want to promote in order to help make our campus, and the communities of which we are part, more sustainable. Every member of our community plays a role in changing the culture in which we learn, work, and live. Helping students access the tools to live more sustainably at Harvard is one of our core priorities and we hope they’ll take those tools with them in the classroom to explore the next generation of solutions that will lead to a healthier planet.

It sets a University-wide baseline from which we can continue to innovate and explore new ideas for the greater good. This Plan will be updated at that time to reflect the University’s new goals.
You complete the work for either capstone in a classroom setting with fellow degree candidates, all of whom are working towards the same goal. We have a special role and a special responsibility to confront the challenge of climate change by reducing campus greenhouse gas emissions by the maximum practicable rate. The Harvard Sustainability Plan is the University’s roadmap for building and operating a healthier, more sustainable campus community. It also encourages students, faculty and staff to continue piloting sustainability solutions throughout the University by using Harvard’s cutting-edge research and teaching to tackle real-world challenges on campus. It is our roadmap for building and operating a healthier, more sustainable campus community. Adopted policies reflect feedback from multiple stakeholders and can be tailored to the individual culture of each School and department. “The challenge of a decentralized university is that people How are we thinking about them in terms of consequences, not just for us, but also taking into account positive or negative impacts we have on others today and in the future? every five years.
