Help BU Achieve its Climate Action Plan Goals

Students come from all over the world to attend Boston University. They’re making an investment in their future. That future depends on the ability to live in a healthy, resilient community. Here at BU, we have the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to creating sustainable spaces where everyone can thrive.

Educate yourself about BU’s Climate Action Plan and the progress toward the goals. Learn about how you can help advance the Zero Waste Plan. Integrate sustainable actions in your daily life. Talk with your friends, classmates, and professors about sustainability. Get involved with our academic partners. Where you see opportunities to make improvements, share those and be a leader.

Great change is possible when we all work together.
