University of California, San Diego
PAE-1: Sustainability Coordination

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 are implementing the goals outlined in the campus Climate Action Plan, including goals 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 addressed the development of organizational structures for advancing the objectives of the Sustainability 2.0 Initiative. These included identifying and pursuing emerging research opportunities; capitalizing upon our campus as a "living laboratory" for promoting sustainability; and implementing strategies to attract 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. http://blink.ucsd.edu/sponsor/VCRMP/sustain.html http://ssi.ucsd.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=170&Itemid=18#top

The SRC is home to the Sustainability Program Office and the Student Sustainability Collective (SSC). The SRC is a “one-stop shop” for all things related to sustainability at UCSD. It includes a small library, meeting room for students, and faculty, staff, and department offices. The SRC showcases a variety of UCSD student projects, research projects, and campus initiatives.

Coordinating UC San Diego campus sustainability efforts requires fostering a culture of sustainability among faculty, staff and students; identifying and prioritizing areas for institutional sustainability efforts; managing the Sustainability Resource Center; planning and developing short and long range plans; and engaging other campus leaders to embrace sustainability broadly across campus units. In addition, the role of a sustainability coordinator at UC San Diego establishes UC San Diego as a leader of sustainability at the state, regional, national and international levels. Other responsibilities include promoting and increasing awareness of UC San Diego’s environmental successes and accomplishments and coordinating UC San Diego’s implementation of UCOP sustainability policies.
