A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the environmental dimensions of sustainability:
Both the plan and UB 2020, the institutional strategic plan behind it, are guided by the overarching mandate of “sustainability” – understood not just in terms of care for the natural environment, but as a matter of generating economic prosperity and ensuring social equity as we protect the ecosphere.
