A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
A formal system-wide Sustainability Committee was established to address systematic integration of sustainability principles, master planning, design and construction, operations and maintenance, climate change mitigation and renewable energy, transportation, recycling and waste management, and environmentally preferable purchasing. The sustainability policy developed by the committee was adopted by the Board of Governors. Per a June 2013 policy amendment, each UNC campus shall designate a "Chief Sustainability Officer" to integrate sustainability "policy goals into the institution's processes, administration, teaching, research, and engagement."
UNCW participates in the Appalachian Energy Summit, hosted by Appalachian State University and the Rocky Mountain Institute. The goal of the summit is to develop actionable energy plans to benefit students, the environment, and the local economy. Representatives from all 17 campuses in the UNC system subsequently embraced the North Carolina energy leadership challenge with the goal of reducing energy use and collectively avoiding $1 billion in energy costs by 2020. At the 2013 summit, a new initiative was launched to accelerate the adoption of energy and sustainability
into the curriculum offered at each institution. Several system schools now pay faculty to catalyze the integration of sustainability into the curriculum. Professional development workshops and course development grants offered at multiple institutions encourage and assist faculty to modify their courses.
