Criteria
Institution advocates for national, state/provincial, or local public policies that support campus sustainability or that otherwise advance sustainability.
The policy advocacy must be done by the institution, not by students or a student group. This credit acknowledges institutions that advocate for policy changes and legislation to advance sustainability broadly. Advocacy efforts that are made exclusively to advance the institution's interests or projects may not be counted. For example, advocating for government funding for campus sustainability may be counted, whereas lobbying for the institution to receive funds that have already been appropriated may not.
Applicability
This credit applies to all institutions.
Scoring
Institutions earn 2 points for this credit by meeting the criteria outlined above. Partial points are not available for this credit.
Measurement
Timeframe
Report on sustainability policy advocacy efforts that took place during the three years prior to the anticipated date of submission. The report does not have to include all advocacy efforts.
