Duke

The Duke University Campus Sustainability Committee (CSC), a standing committee appointed by the President, is responsible for making recommendations to guide campus sustainability policies, championing these sustainability initiatives and communicating them to each member's respective constituencies to foster a more sustainable campus community.

For 2012-2013, the CSC will continue to expand the current Climate Action Plan (CAP) to a broader Sustainability Strategic Plan (SSP), which will include targets and policies regarding other elements of sustainability such as water, recycling/waste reduction, food, supply-chain management and land use. The CSC will continue to monitor and report progress on emissions reductions and other CAP milestones, as well as take steps to engage the Duke community in these efforts.

Subcommittees for the CSC for 2012-2013 are listed below and are open to students, faculty, and staff.  Please contact tavey.mcdaniel@duke.edu if you are interested in participating in one of the following subcommittees.
