The charter or mission statement of the committee or a brief description of the committee's purview and activities :
UC San Diego has four main groups focused on overseeing campus environmental initiatives: the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability (ACS), the Sustainable Operations and Environmental Working Group (SOWEG), the Sustainability 2.0 Task Force and the Climate Solutions Working Group (CSWG).
The purpose of ACS is to provide a forum for the academic program, facility planning, and campus operating interests in sustainability. By increasing awareness of UC San Diego’s strengths in these areas, and identifying areas for further improvement, the campus continues to define itself as a leader in the earth sciences, while employing the principles of environmental stewardship in its own operations.
SOEWG is a group of campus operations and departmental stakeholders that is implementing the goals outlined in the campus Climate Action Plan, including those for reducing water use. Additionally, the SOEWG is working to ensure campus does our part as the 3rd largest water user in San Diego to reduce water use.
The Sustainability 2.0 Task Force broadly addresses the development of organizational structures for advancing the objectives of the Sustainability 2.0 Initiative. These include identifying and pursuing emerging research opportunities; capitalizing upon our campus as a "living laboratory" for promoting sustainability; and implementing strategies for attracting donor involvement and support.
CSWG, comprised of senior faculty, researchers, operational staff and administrators implements a broad range of sustainability initiatives, including management of the Climate Action Plan. Political and business leaders routinely attend the meetings of this group to discuss strategies for leveraging UC San Diego's environmental leadership.
