THEME GUIDING PRINCIPLE 2025 GOALS Climate Action We will pursue energy efficiency and fiscally- responsible energy sourcing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward long-term carbon neutrality. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1&2) by 25% below 2006 levels. Decrease carbon intensity of passenger trips on U-M transportation options by 30% below 2006 levels. Waste Prevention We will pursue purchasing, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies toward long-term waste eradication. Reduce waste tonnage diverted to disposal facilities by 40% below 2006 levels Healthy Environments We will pursue land and water management, built environment, and product sourcing strategies toward improving the health of ecosystems and communities. Purchase 20% of U-M food from sustainable sources. Protect Huron River water quality by: minimizing runoff from impervious surfaces (outperform uncontrolled surfaces by 30%), & reducing the volume of land management chemicals used on campus by 40% Community Awareness We will pursue stakeholder engagement, education, and evaluation strategies toward a campus-wide ethic/culture of sustainability. The report recommends investments in multiple actions to educate our community, track behavior, and report progress over time. Integrated Assessment Themes
Culture of Sustainability What is it? How do we measure it? How do we know if its changing?
