The Sustainability Initiative at CMU
Toward a more sustainable future—for everyone.
As a university, we’re collectively advancing efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, which each contribute to making the world a better place.
Not just for how we live today, but for generations to come.
We’re amplifying efforts across three key areas:
Join us as we create solutions, drive strategies and integrate efforts across our campus.
Because progress takes all of us.
Campus leaders for change.
