Department driven

Year the institution’s sustainability projects fund was established:
2,014

A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:

The major $1 million Green Revolving Fund (GRF) provides capital for high performance campus design, operations, maintenance, and occupant behavior projects. The micro Green Engagement Fund (GEF) provides capital limited to $500 or less, to both engage and communicate sustainability issues or ideas. GEF projects do not require a payback on investment.


A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:

The main criteria for funding projects will be to undertake those with both a positive environmental impact and strong financial plan. In order to fully assess project submissions the Green Fund Committee (GFC) will receive applications throughout the year, with submissions reviewed in December.

Funding will be provided for up to 3 projects, under both the GRF and GEF. While we welcome all ideas and innovations to inspire sustainability, proposed projects should aim to support the goals and objectives outlined in Carleton’s Sustainability Strategic Plan, Energy Master Plan and Campus Master Plan. These all support our wider aims to reduce the university’s carbon footprint and enhance sustainability.
