Home Our Guiding Sustainability Goals

Our Guiding University, State, and Global Sustainability Goals

Sustainability action at the University of Maryland is guided by a shared vision for a just, resilient, and thriving future. UMD aligns its sustainability efforts with campus priorities, the State of Maryland’s goals, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This multi-level approach ensures that environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic resilience are part of everyday decision-making. Together, these frameworks help drive measurable progress and meaningful impact at every scale.
