The charter or mission statement of the committee or a brief description of the committee's purview and activities :
The Campus Sustainability Committee (CSC) was created in 2007 by President Brodhead as part of the institutional structure to guide development and implementation of the Duke Climate Action Plan (CAP). After review by senior staff and the Board of Trustees, Duke officially submitted its CAP on October 15, 2009 to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment.
