In May 2014, the CSU Board of Trustees adopted the first systemwide Sustainability Policy, applying sustainable principles across all areas of university operations. This February 2018 report represents the first CSU-wide assessment of progress toward the goals outlined in the policy.
Faculty and campus facilities management staff work together to explore solutions to real-world sustainability problems.
The system continues to work toward achieving the nine goals set out in the 2014 CSU Sustainability Policy:
The CSU has already met and exceeded its 2020 goal for reducing greenhouse gas*.
Systemwide energy use continues to decrease. The CSU has installed $128 million in energy efficiency projects since 2005*.
The CSU has already met the 2016 water conservation goal of reducing use by 10% and is on track to meet the 2020 goal of 20%*.
*Updated March 2018
