THEMEGUIDING

PRINCIPLE2025 GOALS

Climate Action

We will pursue energy efficiency and fiscally-responsible energy sourcing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward long-term carbon neutrality.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1&2) by 25% below 2006 levels.

Decrease carbon intensity of passenger trips on U-M transportation options by 30% below 2006 levels.

Waste Prevention

We will pursue purchasing, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies toward long-term waste eradication.

Reduce waste tonnage diverted to disposal facilities by 40% below 2006 levels

Healthy Environments

We will pursue land and water management, built environment, and product sourcing strategies toward improving the health of ecosystems and communities.

Purchase 20% of U-M food from sustainable sources.

Protect Huron River water quality by: minimizing runoff from impervious surfaces (outperform

uncontrolled surfaces by 30%), & reducing the volume of land management chemicals used on

campus by 40%

Community Awareness

We will pursue stakeholder engagement, education, and evaluation strategies toward a campus-wide ethic/culture of sustainability.

The report recommends investments in multiple actions to educate our community, track behavior, and report progress over time.

Integrated Assessment Themes

“As we do all of this, and more, we will scientifically measure and report our progress and behavior as a community…”
