A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The Office of Sustainability reviewed each faculty web page and CV for research interest and publications and matched them against our university definition of sustainability to determine researchers that we designated as sustainability related or sustainability focused. If research touched upon 2 of the pillars of sustainability, they were considered sustainability related. If it touched upon all three, it was considered sustainability focused. Our sustainability definition is: Sustainability entails recognizing one’s membership in the broader social and ecological community, exhibiting appreciation of and respect for others and the natural world, and acting justly to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of human communities and natural systems. We then aligned the researcher's focus of work with the UN SDG's to assess the scope of work being done in each realm.
