A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
The Campus Sustainability Integrated Assessment directly involved more than 500 University of Michigan students, faculty, and staff representing 101 organizational units and 27 academic programs to advance campus sustainability by: establishing goals and targets; developing strategic frameworks; identifying research and learning opportunities; educating the campus community; and, sharing publicly what we have learned.
A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :
GOALS ARE FOR 2025: Climate Action: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1&2) by 25% below 2006 levels & decrease carbon intensity of passenger trips on University of Michigan transportation options by 30% below 2006 levels. Waste Prevention: Reduce waste tonnage diverted to disposal facilities by 40% below 2006 levels. Healthy Environments: Purchase 20% of University of Michigan food in accordance with U-M Sustainable Food Purchasing Guidelines by 2025, and protect Huron River water quality by: minimizing runoff from impervious surfaces ( out perform uncontrolled surfaces by 30%), and reducing the volume of land management chemicals used on campus by 40%. Community awareness: There is no strategic goal recommendation for this theme, however, the report recommends investments in multiple actions to educate our community, track behavior, and report progress over time.
A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
Each goal has many sub-goals and action plans attached to it. Each of these goals can and will be measured as appropriate. The report will be reviewed every 5 years and adjustments will be made if we are able to meet our goals more quickly than anticipated.
