A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
The mission of the Green Ribbon Commission is to accelerate the implementation of the City’s Climate Action Plan by convening, organizing, and enabling leaders from Boston’s key sectors. Northeastern University is a member of the Higher Education Working Group (HEWG) which leverages the higher education sector’s capabilities for climate action by sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration within and across sectors to support the City of Boston in meeting its climate goals.
The HEWG has had a pivotal role in the City’s climate action success to date by sharing and transferring their knowledge and learned lessons to other sectors for the effective and equitable implementation of the City’s climate goals. Because of HEWG members’ physical and cultural influences, the City continues to value HEWG’s leadership, as it contributes both research and best practices. The working group is currently focused on the implementation of its Five Year Strategic Plan for 2020-2025.

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is an active and thoughtful group of dedicated community members tasked with advising the work of Northeastern's Office of City and Community Engagement. The CAB is organized into four working groups that align with the work of CCE and allow members to focus on an area of interest while serving on the board. Each working group is co-led by a CCE team member and member of the CAB. Among other issues, the CAB discusses and provides input about community engagement, the impact of CCE’s work on local neighborhoods, and the university’s development ideas and initiatives. The CAB is also advising on the University's update to its Institutional Master Plan.
