Institution-wide coordination
Yes
A brief description of the activities and substantive accomplishments of the institution-wide coordinating body or officer during the previous three years:
To refine the five-year action plans, the Standing Committee established small working groups for each of the numbered strategy areas detailed in the recommendations as well as establishing a dedicated communications small working group. These working groups are inclusive, collaborative, interdisciplinary teams that set specific, measurable benchmarks in order to achieve the long-term goals set in each strategy area. The smaller working groups will report at least once every academic semester Standing Committee on their progress and to document the progress towards their measurable goals that are envisioned in the five-year action plans.
In order to increase transparency and public engagement, the work of the Standing Committee and working groups is updated annually through digital reports available at green.nd.edu.
The Comprehensive Sustainability Strategy recommendations focus on the University’s continued actions and aspirations in seven areas:
Energy and Emissions
Water
Building and Construction
Waste
Procurement, Licensing, and Food Sourcing
Education, Research, and Community Outreach
Communications
