80% carbon emissions reduction by 2050

Columbia University was looking for assistance with its sustainability plan, with broad participation from approximately 40 stakeholders.

The resultant Columbia University Sustainability Plan, entitled Sustainable Columbia, is the University’s first formalized document bringing together sustainability efforts from myriad departments around campus. It is the result of a 16-month focused collaboration with students, faculty, administrators, and scientists working across departments to create a three-year, operations-focused roadmap to create a more sustainable campus. GreenerU guided Columbia University through the process of developing goals, strategies, and actions to advance the school’s sustainability efforts.
