Guiding Principles of the Sustainability Working Group
- We will propose bold action and investment for climate action, including reducing and offsetting carbon emissions, supporting climate adaptation, and supporting equity and justice.
- We seek outcomes that span operations, education, and community engagement.
- We will seek and center input from people and groups advancing equity and justice for systemically marginalized communities.
- We will align our commitments with Carleton’s strategic goals of building a community of belonging, advancing the liberal arts, and expanding the College’s reach to maximize opportunities for collective action.
- We will find ways to support the special talents of our community and our location.
- We will propose sustainability education strategies that support every discipline and work across disciplines.
