Sustainability Working Group

The Sustainability Working Group was appointed in January 2023 to explore how Carleton could deepen its sustainability efforts in the wake of a 2021 recommendation by the Carleton Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) that the College update and revise our 2011 Climate Action Plan.

Environmental Advisory Committee

The Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) is the governing body of environmental action at Carleton. This committee has been paused as the Sustainability Working Group updates the College’s Climate Action Plan, including identifying new committee structures for our next work.

CCCE Environmental Systems Cohort

The Center for Community & Civic Engagement (CCCE) encourages students to pursue their passions by participating in co-curricular programs, academic civic engagement courses, and paid student work positions. Some programs specific to sustainability include:

Campus Facilities Plan Committee

The Planning Committee will guide the development of a new Campus Facilities Plan, which will be designed to support and advance the 2033 Strategic Direction that the Board of Trustees approved in October 2023..

Bon Appétit

Carleton’s dining services partner, Bon Appétit, has a long list of sustainability commitments, which makes them a great partner in achieving our goals and providing delicious, local foods in the dining halls.
