Who We Are
Sustainable Stanford is all of us – an insightful and engaged community of faculty, students, and staff partnering to advance and integrate sustainability at our institution and to model these solutions for the world.
We continue to tackle new challenges with research, technologies, and innovations that we’ve tested on our own campus, in hopes of helping our campus, local, and global community understand, mitigate, and adapt to the changing climate.
We are progressing toward our commitments of net zero by 2050 and zero waste.
