Welcome to the Office of Sustainability's new web portal for reporting UMD's measurable steps toward achieving campus sustainability goals. This portal also makes connections between UMD's campus-based progress and support for global sustainable development.
Throughout the summer, work with the Office of Sustainability to draft your Sustainability Fund proposal! Contact the Office of Sustainability to review your proposal or brainstorm new ideas.
The University of Maryland is committed to addressing the grand challenges of today, including climate change. We accelerated our carbon neutrality commitment to 2025 and achieved our goal to halve carbon emissions by 2020 two years before schedule. These commitments and victories are milestones on UMD’s path to a more sustainable future. There is still plenty more progress to be made. Explore connections between global climate change and actions you can take today to make an impact.
This success reflects a strong team effort by senior administrators, academic leaders, faculty, students, and dedicated staff in many units across campus. This was aided by the development of a culture of sustainability on campus that has drawn wide support and commitment.
