A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability, including the issues, bills, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
The University of Denver has been engaged in public policy related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability advocacy through several of its programs and institutes.
The Stategic Issues Panel has studied Colorado's constitution, the future of water in Colorado, as well as Colorado's economic future, immigration, and state government to help shape a portion of Colorado's legislative agenda over the last five years.
The Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute seeks to elevate the law, policy and practice of sustainable development in the West to promote nature-friendly, prosperous and equitable communities. Through innovative research, education and professional development programs and its renowned annual conference, the Institute trains and connects students and professionals across disciplines, sectors and regions to build the sustainable development field while creating new possibilities for the future of the West’s landscapes and livelihoods.
Since 1984, the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law has provided real world experience for students interested in both developing practical legal skills and exploring the practice of environmental law. Under the supervision of Professor Michael Harris, Director of the Environmental Law Clinic, and Kevin Lynch, Environmental Law Clinic Fellow, students represent environmental advocacy organizations before courts and administrative agencies in a broad range of environmental matters, including endangered species, public lands, air quality and public health.
The Center for Sustainable Development and International Peace promotes the engagement and involvement of the U.S. and Colorado in the management of common problems in concert with other leading countries and communities through projects that bring together a wide variety of participants from various countries, organizations, and perspectives.
